Welcome to Three Peaks Pediatrics and Lactation! We are thrilled you’re considering us for your child’s healthcare journey. Our goal is to provide a different kind of pediatric experience—one built on unhurried visits, direct communication, and a focus on your family’s unique needs. This guide will walk you through what to expect as a new patient with our Direct Primary Care (DPC) model.

Our DPC model allows us to keep a smaller patient panel than traditional practices. This means we can offer same-day or next-day appointments for sick visits and schedule longer, more in-depth appointments for well-child checks.

• Scheduling: You can book your first visit by calling or emailing our office. We will set up a time to meet virtually or in person to see if we are a good fit. A link to enroll will be provided and once you are set up as a patient, you can text, email, or call to get an appointment scheduled.
• Visit Length: Plan for your first visit to be longer than a typical appointment—we want to get to know you and your child, and fully understand your family’s health history.
• No Waiting: We value your time. Our smaller practice size means virtually no wait times in the office. You’ll be seen at your scheduled appointment time, ensuring a calm and comfortable visit for both you and your child.

We believe that a strong relationship between you and your pediatrician is the foundation of excellent care. That’s why we offer direct communication with your doctor.

• Secure Messaging: You can send your doctor secure messages with questions about your child’s health. This is perfect for follow-ups or non-urgent concerns that don’t require an in-office visit.
• Telehealth Options: For certain issues, we can conduct a virtual visit, saving you a trip to the office.
• This direct access eliminates phone tag and gives you peace of mind, knowing you can get quick answers when you need them.

Simple, daily habits can significantly impact a child’s ability to focus and regulate their behavior. We’ll discuss how to incorporate these into your family’s routine.

• Nutrition: A balanced diet and regular meals can help stabilize blood sugar and energy levels, which can affect attention and mood.
• Sleep: Consistent and adequate sleep is crucial. We can help you establish a calming bedtime routine to ensure your child gets the rest they need.
• Physical Activity: Regular exercise is a powerful tool in your child’s overall health as it can help with sleep, as well as improve focus and reduce restlessness.

Your DPC membership fee covers the vast majority of your child’s primary care needs. We offer a full range of pediatric services, from birth through adolescence.

• Well-Child Visits: From newborn care to adolescent check-ups, we provide comprehensive physicals, developmental screenings, and vaccinations.
• Sick Visits: We are here for all types of acute illnesses, from fevers and earaches to rashes and stomach bugs.
• Lactation Support: Our integrated care model includes expert support for breastfeeding challenges.
• Management of Chronic Conditions: We provide ongoing care for conditions like asthma, allergies, and ADHD.
• Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine: Gentle balancing of musculoskeletal system for optimal movement and development.

In-Office Procedures: Your membership covers many common procedures, such as strep tests, urinalysis, and wart removal.

We look forward to partnering with you on your child’s health journey. If you have any questions or are ready to schedule your first visit, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
