About Us

A Different Approach to Pediatric Care

Seeds & Sprouts Pediatrics is a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice built around relationships, accessibility, and personalized care. By working directly with families rather than billing insurance for visits, we can focus on what matters most: getting to know your child and supporting their health as they grow.

What makes DPC different?

  • Care centered on your family. Build a relationship with a provider who gets to know your child, your concerns, and your family's values.

  • More time, less rushing. Appointments allow space for meaningful conversations, thoughtful evaluations, and personalized care plans.

  • Direct communication. Membership includes access to your provider by phone or text for everyday questions, within established communication hours and guidelines.

  • Transparent pricing. Know the cost of care upfront, without insurance billing or unexpected visit charges.

  • An integrative approach. We consider the whole child, including nutrition, lifestyle, development, and other factors that contribute to overall well-being.

Membership is optional. Families can choose a membership for ongoing support and included services or pay for visits individually. Either way, our goal is to provide thoughtful, relationship-centered pediatric care that helps your child thrive.

Is Seeds & Sprouts Pediatrics the Right Fit for Your Family?

Seeds & Sprouts Pediatrics may be a great fit for your family if you're looking for personalized, relationship-centered pediatric care that considers the whole child.

We're a great fit for families who:

  • Value building a lasting relationship with their child's provider.

  • Prefer an integrative approach to common childhood health concerns.

  • Appreciate unrushed visits, thoughtful guidance, and individualized care.

  • Want transparent pricing and a direct connection with their provider through our Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership.

  • Want a partner in navigating their child's health, from routine well visits to everyday illnesses and select functional health concerns.

Our practice primarily focuses on pediatric primary care, with an integrative approach. Some complex or specialized concerns may be better served by a provider with a different area of expertise, and we'll help guide you when additional support is needed.

We'd love to get to know your family! Explore our services and membership options to find the approach that works best for you.
