Where Did the Name “Front Porch Pediatrics” Come From?

Many people have asked how Front Porch Pediatrics got its name, and we love sharing the story.

Before opening her own practice, Dr. Tun worked alongside Dr. Vance and Dr. Stafford at one of the first and most influential pediatric offices in Chattanooga. Their office was in a home, and they actually closed in the front porch to create a cozy waiting area for families. That welcoming “front porch” space became such a special part of the practice …and the name stuck.

When Dr. Tun opened Front Porch Pediatrics in 2011, she wanted to carry on that same warm, community-centered feeling, a place where families feel at home from the moment they walk in.

In 2012, Dr. Sanabria joined the practice, and together they continued building something special. Front Porch Pediatrics was proud to be the first pediatric office to open in Ooltewah, TN, and we are so thankful to care for families in this growing community.

From our front porch to your family, thank you for being part of our story.

Hamilton County, TN --- During these cold temperatures, our community refers to using additional heating sources to warm their homes.

From using space heaters or a fireplace. Hamilton County Office of Emergency Management officials encourages everyone to put safety before comfort!

HCOEM officials suggests space heaters should be at least three feet away from all combustibles. Clothing, furniture and curtains can easily catch fire from a space heater. If you are using a chimney, please make sure your chimney has been inspected by chimney professionals to check for creosote build-up and bird/animal nests which can contribute to start a house fire. We encourage everyone to check their smoke detectors and make sure they are working properly. Have you changed your batteries? Smoke detectors do save lives!

HCOEM officials also encourage pet owners to bring pets inside when the temperatures get below freezing. Check on the elderly. If you venture the outdoors, be prepared. Dress in layers to keep warm.

Remember: Heating fires remained the second leading cause of home fires in 2021 according to the U.S. Fire Administration.

Take a few moments to review these safety tips:
1. Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet from all heat sources including fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators, space heaters and candles
2. Turn space heaters OFF when leaving the room or going to bed
3. Never use an oven to heat your home
4. Maintain heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected each year by a professional
