The clinic serves as a medical home for the patients in the practice, working to be the first and only place patients and families seek routine health care. Families have the option to choose a resident physician or nurse practitioner as their regular care provider. All of our staff work under the direction of attending physicians.

 Health education and counseling - Physical examinations

- On-site case management for children needing comprehensive care.
- 24 hour a day/ 7 day a week phone coverage for medical questions (emergency calls only after hours) at 615.936.2555.
If your child is a patient in the practice and is sick, call us first at 615.936.2555!
Our clinic is available by appointment Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. We have a Saturday clinic available for our sick children from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. As noted above, we provide phone coverage for clinic patients at all times.
