- Pediatric CareDesert Sun Pediatrics welcomes new patients. Please call our office if you would like to schedule a “meet and greet” with one of our physicians.

- Primary CareThe American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is an organization of 67,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists, and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety, and well-being of all infants, children, adolescents, and young adults.
- Ear InfectionsPlease understand certain appointments cannot be done via telemedicine and would require your child to be seen. Examples are: ear infections, testing for strep throat, respiratory issues, urinary tract infections, and assessing for dehydration. This list can change and we will attempt to triage beforehand and only bring in those we deem necessary. We are taking precautions when you come in to minimize contact with our office, staff, and others. We have dedicated one side of the office for well appointments and another for sick. This includes separate entrances and exits. Upon arrival, you are met at the door to have your temperature taken and then put directly into a patient room. If all the rooms are full, we will have you wait in your car until there is a clean room available. Each room is completely sanitized before and after every patient.
