🍓 Goldilocks Pediatrics Closure Notice 🍓

We're so excited to be centrally located close to downtown, but road closures for the festival have placed us in a bit of a tight spot for festival Friday!

That being said, Goldilocks Pediatrics will be closed on Friday, May 15, 2026, so our team can enjoy and celebrate the Strawberry Festival with our community and no one has to struggle to get to our office- our employees included! 🎉

We will resume normal business hours on the following Monday, May 18th. If you have an urgent medical need during this time, please visit your nearest urgent care or emergency department.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope everyone has a fun, safe, and strawberry-filled festival! 🍓❤️

🍓🎀 OH MY BERRY… look who got a festival makeover! 🎀🍓

Our favorite front-desk friend heard that the Strawberry Festival is finally here and decided it was time to dress for the occasion! ❤️🍓

She traded in her everyday look for this adorable strawberry dress, bonnet, and bows… because around here, we believe you’re never too dressed up to celebrate something sweet! 🎀✨

She’s officially festival ready and waiting to welcome all of our amazing kiddos and families with extra smiles, sweetness, and a whole lot of berry cute charm! 🍓🥰

If you’re stopping by the office this week, be sure to come say hi and snap a picture with our strawberry sweetheart at the front desk! 📸

We love bringing a little extra fun and happiness to your visits and celebrating the traditions that make our community so special. ❤️🍓👧🏼👦🏼

From all of us at Goldilocks Pediatrics, we hope everyone has a fun, safe, and berry sweet Strawberry Festival! 🍓🎡✨

🌸⚾ Spring Sports Season is Here! 🥎🌼

We love seeing our patients out on the field, court, and track this time of year! Fun fact, Dr. Jess always tries to make it to a few sporting events around the community to watch patients play! Pictured below is Dr. Jess' oldest nephew aiming for the fences (playing in dirt) at his t-ball game last night!

Feel free to drop some photos of your kiddos in their sport in the comments!

We love to see our patients building confidence, teamwork, and healthy habits that last a lifetime! As the season kicks off, Goldilocks Pediatrics wants to share a few important tips to keep your young athletes safe and thriving:

🏃‍♂️ Start Slow & Build Up
Avoid jumping in too quickly. Gradually increase activity to prevent overuse injuries.

💧 Hydration is Key
Encourage plenty of water before, during, and after practices and games, even on cooler days.

🛡️ Use Proper Gear
Make sure equipment fits well and is sport-appropriate (helmets, pads, mouthguards, cleats, etc.).

🧘‍♀️ Warm Up & Cool Down
Stretching and light activity before and after play can help prevent strains and soreness.

😴 Rest Matters
Rest days are just as important as practice days. Growing bodies need time to recover!

🚨 Listen to the Body
Pain is not something to “push through.” If your child is hurting, it’s time to rest and be evaluated.

🩺 Stay Up to Date on Physicals
Sports physicals help ensure your child is ready to safely participate.

Let’s make this a fun, active, and safe season for all our athletes! If you have any concerns or need a sports physical, we’re here to help. 💛

How the girls comfort Jess when she’s having a bad day. 😂

04/22/2026

At Goldilocks Pediatrics, we are so grateful for the incredible growth and support from our community, now serving over 500 patients and families 💛

With that growth, we want to gently remind everyone that Dr. Jess’ personal social media accounts are not an appropriate way to contact her regarding medical questions, appointments, or patient care.

Managing messages across personal platforms has become overwhelming and takes away from the time and attention our patients deserve during office hours. Moving forward, messages sent to Dr. Jess’ personal accounts will no longer be opened or responded to, regardless of personal relationships or friendships.

To ensure timely, safe, and appropriate communication, please contact the office directly through:
📞 Phone: 681-251-8135
📧 Patient portal https://www.athenahealth.com/patient-login
🏥 Front desk

This helps us provide the best care possible and ensures nothing important is missed.

Thank you for understanding and for trusting us with your children’s care 💫

Visit your portal, make payments online, contact your provider via the free athenaPatient app, and get answers to frequently asked questions by patients.

Of course Dr. Jess had to get in on the prep! This year’s theme is “Strawberry Fiesta!”

So, she started on the office windows this afternoon and got this strawberry finished before the sprinkles started!

Stay tuned this week to see what else she adds! 🍓
