The Pediatric Center has cared for Richmond’s children since 1962. Generations of families have trusted us to care for their children, and we’re proud to be part of this community.

Pediatric care has changed considerably since we first opened our doors. Earlier diagnoses, better treatments, developmental screenings, and vaccines have helped children grow up healthier. As medicine continues to advance, we bring that knowledge into our everyday care while taking time to listen, answer questions, and get to know your family.

We also know that getting care isn’t always simple. Insurance can be confusing, schedules are full, and children rarely get sick at a convenient time. Having a familiar team to turn to can make a difference. We want your child to see providers who know their history, understand their needs, and can follow their care over time.

To help make that possible, we offer 24/7 on-call support, Saturday morning clinic hours at our Virginia Center Commons (VCC) office, an Early Bird “Quick Sick” hour, and same-day sick appointments. These options give families more ways to connect with our team when an unexpected illness disrupts the day.

We’re also finding thoughtful ways to use technology to make communication and access easier. Our goal is to help you reach our team, find the information you need, and feel supported in caring for your child.

Through every change, our commitment remains the same: your child’s needs come first. Our team brings a wide range of backgrounds and experience, along with a shared love of caring for children. We’re honored to get to know your family and support you through each stage of your child’s growth.
