Pediatrics
A Caring, Whole-Health Approach to Pediatric Wellnesss.
At Practical Healing Pediatrics, we believe in a whole-health approach to your child’s care—nurturing their mind, body, and well-being. By combining functional medicine with direct primary care, we go beyond symptoms to uncover root causes, support natural healing, and empower your child to thrive. Our compassionate team is honored to partner with your family on this journey to lasting health and wellness.
What Makes Us Different?
At Practical Healing Pediatrics, we do things differently–because great pediatric care goes beyond the basics—it’s about building lifelong wellness. We believe in truly listening to both parents and children, ensuring you always feel seen, heard, and supported.
Unhurried, Personalized Care
Say goodbye to long wait times and rushed appointments. We take the time to understand your child’s unique needs, answer all your questions, and provide the thoughtful, personalized care your family deserves.
A Root-Cause Approach to Health
We go beyond treating symptoms. Our holistic approach focuses on identifying the root causes of health concerns and supporting long-term wellness. By integrating functional medicine, nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and natural therapies alongside traditional care, we help your child build a strong foundation for lifelong health.
Vaccination Support Without Pressure
We respect every family’s choices and are here to provide guidance and resources if you choose to vaccinate your child. While we don’t administer vaccines in our office, we proudly partner with the Ohio Department of Health to ensure you have access to the care you need.
Convenient Sick Visits & On-Site Testing
We know that when your child isn’t feeling well, you need answers fast. That’s why we offer telemedicine visits five days a week and provide rapid in-office testing for Strep, Influenza, RSV, and COVID—so you can get the care you need without the hassle.
At Practical Healing Pediatrics, we’re here to make your child’s healthcare experience easier, more supportive, and deeply rooted in whole-body wellness. We can’t wait to partner with you on this journey!
