We believe that children are important and deserve the best. Our facility will host a friendly environment, professional staff, quality healthcare and most of all - a positive experience for the children.

Dr. Rimma Pozdnyakova:

“I have a small staff that works as a family, yet treats our patients like friends. That means we call you back when we say we will, everyone knows you by name when you come in, and we worry when you worry. My practice focuses on prevention. That’s why we encourage timely vaccinations and regular well- child checkups. We work in partnership with parents to make the best possible medical decisions for their children.”
