Welcome to Pleasant Hill Pediatrics
Our services include comprehensive routine physical examinations as well as same day visits for illness or injury. Pleasant Hill Pediatrics is a Patient Centered Medical Home, a team approach to coordinating health care for you and your family.
Well child exams are an important part of pediatric health care. These visits are an opportunity to review our patients' growth and development, nutritional status, and sleep habits. School performance is reviewed, as are any behavioral concerns. Patients have age-appropriate evaluations of hearing, vision, and speech. Routine blood screening for lead, anemia, and cholesterol is performed. Immunizations are given in accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.
Adolescence is a time of rapid physical and emotional change; it can be a difficult time for both patients and their parents. We provide yearly exams, as well as a full range of adolescent services. Our confidential visits encourage open and honest communication and the opportunity to discuss adolescent health concerns including growth, development, behavioral, and school problems. We also address depression, safe sex, alcohol, smoking, and drug abuse. A separate clinic for adolescent gynecological services is staffed by highly trained Nurse Practitioners.
We examine and care for your newborn child daily at our affiliated hospitals. Additionally, we work closely with the hospital staff to arrange routine newborn testing, and to plan an appropriate discharge date for your child. Your newborn is typically seen a few days later in the office to ensure adequate weight gain and to discuss sleep, feedings, and any other concerns.
Choosing your child's pediatrician is an important decision. Therefore, we provide an opportunity to tour our office, meet with a doctor, learn about our practice, and discuss pediatric healthcare.

“I have been taking my kids to see Dr. Smith for over 17 years. I have referred several people to him and each one has been very pleased. My 2 year old actually speaks of ‘Dr. Mith’ as if they are friends. He actually looks forward to seeing his doctor. During times when Dr. Smith is unavailable and we see Dr. Ware she has been equally as pleasant and has always made us feel comfortable. I trust these doctors over ALL. I highly recommend Pleasant Hill Pedi's.”Guan, customer (2017)
