Pediatrics

The mission of CMI’s pediatrics department is to provide excellent and comprehensive care in a family centered environment to help your child’s growth and development.

We firmly embrace the concept of the medical home, a centralized base for caring for your children and your entire family. Our philosophy is shared by all our team, from practitioners to the front desk.

CMI is dedicated to providing your family with quality care by assuring that each patient receives individual and personal attention. We value the relationships with our patients’ families, and enjoy caring for newborns through young adults.

At CMI, we have designed an activity space for our young patients. It is colorful and filled with age appropriate toys to help them to feel relaxed and distracted.
