Updates

It's been a pretty heavy flu season and it may continue through the spring.  We still have flu vaccines available and recommend them even this late in the season.  We provide flu vaccine for patients and also parents.  COVID vaccines are also available for both patients and parents.  Click on our Flu and COVID vaccines page for more information or call us to schedule.

If the links to the patient portal on this page keep going to our old portal (Intelichart), it's probably because your device has an old version saved in its cache.  If you clear your cache, that should fix the problem.  Or you can click here:  New Portal

Formula shortage - are you struggling to find a formula for your baby?  Specialty formulas are complicated to find.  Click HERE to download a cheat sheet that shows different categories of formulas and which formulas can be used as substitutes if you can't find the formula your baby usually takes.

COVID-19 Information:

If you have questions about COVID-19 vaccines, see our FAQ for more information, or go to our COVID-19 Vaccines page.

Testing - We have rapid COVID-19 tests available at our office.  We do not test people who are not our patients and cannot test parents.  See our COVID-19 rapid test page for more information.  To get a test, your child will first have an appointment with the doctor, who will determine if testing is appropriate.

Isolation and Quarantine - we've written a handout to help people navigate this often confusing subject.  Click HERE to download it.  More information is available on the CDC website at their CDC Isolation and Quarantine page.

    I was born near Detroit, Michigan, which I always say is a good place to be FROM (I'm very happy now to be living in Tucson, instead). I went to undergraduate school at the University of Michigan, mostly because it was where all my friends were going and I didn't want to fill out any more college applications. For medical school, I did a little more searching and interviewing and ended up at Washington University in St. Louis. I enjoyed St. Louis but, though it's both south and west of Detroit, it still wasn't what I had in mind. When I finished medical school, I interviewed throughout the West and chose to do my residency here in Tucson, at the University of Arizona. I fell in love with Tucson during those three years and decided to make it my permanent home.

    Rumor has it that there are not many native Tucsonans but I am one of them. I live in the neighborhood where I grew up, less than a mile from Mesquite Pediatrics. My dad would often quip about life in Tucson as 'another day in paradise' and I share his view. I never tire of the view of the Catalinas and cannot imagine shoveling snow on a regular basis.

    I am proud to be a native Arizonan, born in Phoenix and raised in the scenic locale of Cave Creek, Arizona. I moved to Tucson in 1999 to pursue my undergraduate degree in Physiology at The University of Arizona. Falling in love with Tucson during my undergraduate years (as well as my husband, Nick), I’ve permanently settled in this beautiful city. As a die hard Arizona Wildcat, I was thrilled to be able to complete my medical school training, Pediatric Residency, and a year as Chief Resident of Pediatrics at The University of Arizona (Go Cats!).
