It’s Valentine’s Day! (Well, almost!) We always love celebrating each of our staff on this day to remind them just how special they are to us and to this office! We could not be who we are without each of them putting in so much hard work, dedication, kindness, and compassion each day! To all of our amazing staff, thank you for being uniquely and wonderfully you! ❤️

Drs Allen, Newsome, and Duncan had a great time at the Pediatric Management Institute conference in New Orleans over the weekend! (There were already some Mardi Gras festivities going on that they were able to enjoy!) It's always good to never stop learning and to become an even better physician, and these three learned quite a bit that they are able to come back and share with our other providers! 👩⚕️🧑⚕️👩🏫

Grateful to our staff who braved the roads to come work our sick clinic today! We always want to be open as much as possible so that our patients have somewhere familiar to go and can avoid going to the ER if at all possible! ❤️ Looking forward to getting back to our normal schedule tomorrow!
