2020 brought the 40^th anniversary of Southwest Pediatrics and one of our most challenging years to date, specifically COVID-19 in our community. In 2021, through in-house COVID- 19 testing and vaccinations, we are happy to help our families get back to school safely! In addition, we continue to offer the same quality medical care (in person and virtually through Televistis) to the children of the Southwest suburbs of Chicago. Per the recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics, we never stopped routine well child care and continued to deliver the RIGHT VACCINE at the RIGHT TIME to ensure that pandemics of the past remain in our past! We were honored by our families recognizing our practics as Best of the Southtown.

CARING FOR CHILDREN FROM BIRTH THROUGH 21 YEARS OLD

We are a full service general pediatric office serving Chicago’s southwest suburbs with offices in Palos Park and Mokena.
