Children's Medical Center provides exceptional care to patients from birth to 18 years of age. The practice consists of twenty Board Certified Pediatricians in four offices conveniently located in Palm Harbor, New Port Richey, Westchase and Lutz. We are open 362 days a year including early morning and evening hours as well as weekend hours. We visit newborns at Mease Countryside Hospital and the Medical Center at Trinity. We offer same day "sick" appointments and have flexible scheduling for Well Child Checks and Sports Physicals and Pre-op Physicals. Our physicians are very experienced in handling general pediatric issues including, but not limited to asthma, ADD/ADHD, allergies, common childhood infections and we welcome special needs patients to our practice. We are more than happy to fill out your school forms, sports forms, immunization records, etc. at no extra charge. We sometimes require a few days notice for this service unless the forms are presented at the time of the visit, in which case we will fill out the forms immediately. Our offices employ highly trained staff and we have limited laboratory services at each location (complete blood count, urinalysis, rapid testing for strep, mono, rsv, influenza, pregnancy) and our staff is skilled at venipuncture for studies which need to be sent to an outside lab. Our patients may contact our offices 24 hours a day to ask questions of our experienced nurses and one of our physicians is always on-call for the group. In keeping with current technology, our offices are "paperless". Each of our patients has an "electronic chart" accessible to our nurses and doctors at all of our locations. We encourage you to schedule a complimentary "meet the doctor" visit to learn more about our practice and to visit our facility!

Our Practice

Children's Medical Center started in 1992 when Drs. Thomas Hennessy, Dean Fauber, "Dino" Pantages and James Dwyer combined their existing practices into one location in Palm Harbor. It has grown from four practicing physicians to our current twenty one. In 2004, we opened our Westchase office. Our practice is driven to provide premier pediatric healthcare in a convenient and nurturing medical home for generations. To fulfill this mission, we are committed to:


  • Improving the lives of the children we serve by providing quality care in a child-centered environment.

  • Listening to our young patients and their families who we are privileged to serve.

  • Guiding our patients along a path of optimal health and wellness.
