Our Philosophy
Oak Park Pediatrics is committed to providing the highest quality of care for our patients in a courteous, friendly, warm and nurturing environment. We strive to establish a personal relationship with each of our families and provide unique access to all of our doctors, who will make themselves available to you in-person, on the telephone and by email. We believe that fostering better communication and accessibility is central to your child’s care.
We offer convenient office hours (including walk-in hours every weekday morning) so that we can see and respond to your child’s needs promptly. We are committed to spending the time necessary to listen to your concerns, answer all your questions and appropriately attend to your child’s needs. We use electronic medical records (EMR) and related technology to facilitate accurate and consistent medical records, which makes it easy for us to provide you with information promptly.
