ABOUT OUR PRACTICE

Founded in 1963, the providers of Virginia Pediatric and Adolescent Center have been caring for the children of northern Virginia through multiple generations.

Our goal is to foster the growth, health, and happiness of your child. We care for children from infancy through college, and we take pride in treating them with compassion in a non-hurried and nurturing environment. We care for the whole child--meaning that we give both illness-related and preventative care--while tending to the physical, emotional and social developmental needs of each child in the context of self, family, and the broader community.

​

OUR LOCATIONS

Our practice has 2 locations: Fair Ridge and Springfield. The Springfield Office includes an Adolescent Center with a separate entrance and waiting room from the Pediatric side. In our Adolescent Center, we see patients 12 years and up. Our goal is to help our adolescents become more knowledgeable about their health and encourage their independence and responsibility.  We see both pediatric and adolescent patients in our Fair Ridge office. Our electronic medical record enables our providers to access your child's records and care for your child in both locations.

​

Most of our providers spend the majority of their time in one location to provide continuity of care. Below is a list of where our providers spend the majority of their time.
