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 & activies safely, helping to earn recognition by our families being voted as Best of the Southtown 2021! And now, we are excited to announce that Southwest Pediatrics is growing! We have acquired three additional exam rooms to expand our Palos Park Office (AKA the Annex), and we are excited to announce the addition of Dr. Kelsey Heroux to our team. Dr. Heroux returns to Chicago after completing her residency at Children’s Hospital of LA. As we grow, we will continue to offer the same quality medical care (in person and virtually through Televisits) to the children of the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago.
