“Our mission is to provide our patients with the best pediatric care possible. As our patient’s medical home, we strive to not only treat illness, but promote wellness. We encourage our patients to receive all current vaccines that are proven to prevent disease in children. In addition to excellent care, we strive to make each and every visit a pleasant experience for the child as well as the parent. It has been gratifying to see former patients become parents and grandparents and to treat 2nd and 3rd generation patients”, states the website of True North Pediatrics.
