Did you know regular well child visits are one of the most important things you can do to keep your child healthy? Preventive care promotes healthy growth and development. Well child visits also provide you with the opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about your child’s health.

Your child should have a well child visit annually, apart from set intervals from birth through 3 years of age. We recommend that you call our office at least 3 months in advance to schedule an appointment with your child's primary care provider to ensure your ability to schedule on the date that best meets your needs.

It’s that time of year again! Kiddos are back to school, and fall, winter and spring sports have begun or are quickly approaching. If your child is registering for fall, winter or spring sports, there is a high probability they will need an updated physical. If you haven’t already, give our office a call to schedule ASAP!

It is crucial when choosing a pediatric practice for your children that you have given serious consideration to the fit between the practice philosophies and your own. Excellent care happens when the physicians and office staff are aligned with your family’s priorities and philosophies regarding medical care. Only then can shared decision-making be based on mutual respect.

Free rodeo tickets for kids for Thursday night

https://www.facebook.com/share/16eNB1UNB4/

If you want your kids to come to the rodeo tomorrow for FREE, they 👏 STILL 👏 NEED 👏 TO BRING 👏 A TICKET 👏

Go to Bi-Mart and ask for the FREE GA Kids Ticket - good for Thursday night ONLY, and ONLY for sitting in the GA section.

If you show up without this ticket, your kids won't get in for free, and it'll be a bummer that will probably haunt them forever 😕

A message from Dr. Ahan Newman

Dear Friends and Families,

I am thrilled to announce that I am returning to medical practice.

During my time away, I cherished the opportunity to spend quality moments with my family, travel to new places, and embrace the joys of life outside of work. But as fulfilling as that time was, I came to realize just how much I missed the incredible privilege of caring for you and your families. The connection we share and the ability to help improve lives have always been at the heart of who I am, and I couldn’t be more excited to return to the work I love.

I am back for good and eager to reconnect with each of you. Your trust, support, and resilience over the years have meant the world to me, and I am deeply grateful. It’s an honor to once again be part of your health journey, and I look forward to catching up, sharing smiles, and working together to ensure your continued well-being.

I will resume seeing patients on Monday, February 3rd, 2025.

Thank you for the warm welcome back—I truly cannot wait to see you soon!

With heartfelt gratitude,

Dr. Newman
