Family-focused pediatric care for newborns, children and teens in Kingsport

Our Kingsport pediatricians and pediatric team are here to provide comprehensive and attentive care for your little ones. All our pediatricians specialize in care for infants, children and adolescents, and they're here with you through every step of your child's journey into adulthood.

At Kingsport Pediatrics, we offer a full range of pediatric and support services, including:

  • General check-ups and care – including screenings, nutritional guidance and behavioral assessment
  • School and sports physicals at any time of the year
  • All age-appropriate immunizations to keep your newborn or child safe from preventable disease
  • Care for chronic conditions and illnesses
  • Walk-in availability and same-day or next-day appointments for sick visits
  • Onsite full-service lab for the fastest possible results
  • Separate waiting rooms for sick and well patients to keep your child safe

We know that a doctor's visit can be scary or stressful for your child, which is why we're always dedicated to providing a safe and comforting environment for all our patients – regardless of age. Our team is always ready to make your child laugh or help them feel brave.

Our office features a play area with toys and televisions that continuously play children's movies or TV shows. We also love giving out stickers and lollipops!

Well-child care and annual exams

Well-child examinations are pre-scheduled visits that allow your doctor to track the growth and development of your child while recommending steps to prevent illness or address any of your child's needs.

Most major insurances offer at least one free well-child exam per year.

These visits are also a perfect time for our pediatricians to check your child's emotional development and provide any needed immunizations.

24/7 access to your child's care

With our secure MyChart online portal, you can access your child's medical records and manage their care at any time.

MyChart allows you to see test results, refill a prescription, check immunization history, message your pediatrician and request an appointment – all from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

Onsite full-service lab

We know when your child is sick, you and your family need results fast, which is why we offer a full-service lab on site for all basic lab work, such as strep, mono or the flu.

Our team will never ask you to travel to another facility to do lab work. For specialty labs, we will send your child's bloodwork to an offsite facility to be tested.

We can also test for coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) on site.
