Protecting your little one from RSV is an important part of keeping them healthy this season. We encourage families to schedule soon while supply is available.

Families, we have a bittersweet announcement (prepare your tissues)...

After more than three decades of caring for children and families in our community, Dr. Russell will be retiring at the end of May 2026.

Dr. Russell joined Wi******er Pediatric Clinic in 1991, and ever since, his clinical expertise, quick wit, and signature sense of humor have made him a favorite among patients and staff alike. His steady presence and compassionate care have touched thousands of little lives. We know he will be deeply missed.

While it’s hard to imagine the office without his wise cracks, we’re so excited for him as he looks ahead to a very well-earned retirement.

We invite you to join us in thanking him for his many years of dedication to Wi******er’s children and families. 💙

Today’s White House event on autism was filled with dangerous claims and misleading information that sends a confusing message to parents and expecting parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals.

We know autism is complex, highly variable and increasingly linked to genetics. Individualized plans, often involving a combination of developmental, behavioral, educational and social-relational strategies, can help improve outcomes that are meaningful to individuals and families. We also need and welcome additional investments in federally funded research to better support families of autistic children.

Families who have questions about their child’s medications, autism care plans or other health care should consult with their pediatrician or health care provider.

Back-to-School Season = Form Frenzy

It’s that magical time of year when kids are heading back to school… and our Medical Records department is buried under a mountain of school form requests.

How buried, you ask? Let’s just say, if school forms were apples, we’d need an orchard the size of the Shenandoah Valley to hold them. (Current count: 400+ messages and climbing!)

Our amazing team is working through them as fast as possible.

If your form is urgent, please help us help you:
1️⃣ Send a portal message using the “Urgent Forms” option, or
2️⃣ Give us a call.

Thanks for your patience while we dig ourselves out! 💙
