We are reading and watching the same news reports you are. We want to share some science backed information over the next few days to help answer any questions you may have. As always we are here to provide excellent care for your child which includes answering any questions or concerns you may have.

Here at Pediatric Practitioners of Oklahoma we do not use the combination MMRV (ProQuad) we use the MMR (Priorix) and Varicella (Varivax) vaccines. Check out these slides below from the American Academy of Pediatrics to learn more about these vaccines. Please call us and set up an appointment if you have any questions about vaccines, Tylenol, or your child's health.

We take joy in helping you help your child be the best they can be. Our goal is to help healthy kids stay healthy and sick kids get better.

Happy first day of school to Claremore and several area schools. Keep up the good work to all of our friends who started already.

As a reminder make sure you keep your kids safe by removing personal information about them when you post. This includes their name, age, school, teacher and what they like. We love seeing everyone’s back to school photos but want them to be safe. Tag us so we can see your kiddo ready for their first day.

We have some appointments still available if your child needs a sports physical for their extra curricular activities and same day sick visits as we head into fall and your kids start sharing their germs. Call us a 918-283-4660 to schedule your appointment!
