Our Vaccine Philosophy
Our practice believes that all children should receive the recommended vaccines according to the guidelines provided by the AAP and the CDC. Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing diseases and health complications in children and young adults. Regular vaccinations help children ward off infections, and are administered as one of the safest and best methods of disease prevention. If you have questions or concerns about vaccines, we are happy to discuss them at your child's next visit.
We are actively working on a new vaccine policy to better protect our patients. We are no longer accepting new patients who are not vaccinated. Please stay tuned for updates.
