Support through every stage of growth

Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC) Pediatrics, integrated with Dartmouth Health Children's, offers the experience and support families need to care for kids' evolving health needs. From birth through adolescence and young adulthood, we’re there with you every step of the way, caring for your little (and not-so-little) one like they’re our own.

A patient-centered medical home

Recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a patient-centered medical home, we provide a new model of personal, efficient, and effective primary care that puts patients at the forefront of care.

Treatments and services

We provide routine, acute and chronic medical care, including:

  • Acute illness visits
  • Asthma management
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) care
  • Case management for families who need to be connected with community resources
  • Child development consultation
  • Newborn care
  • Well child and adolescent care

We also provide:

  • Behavioral health assessments: Childhood is a time of both physical and emotional growth. Behavioral health assessments are an effective way to identify behavioral health issues—including autism and ADHD—and substance abuse disorders. Through early diagnosis, we’re better able to help patients address their issue in the most effective way possible.
  • Camp and school physicals: Whether yours is getting ready for school, camp, or their first team sport, we’re happy to provide routine physicals to ensure they’re healthy and ready for what’s next.
  • Immunizations: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a variety of preventive vaccines for children ages birth through 18 years. Our pediatric team is happy to discuss the role of vaccines in preventive health and to administer them onsite in our offices.
  • Routine and preventive screenings: As children grow, it’s important to make sure their development is on track. Routine and preventive screenings are one of the best ways to do that. Recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, screenings are used to evaluate vision, hearing, and blood pressure and check for signs of autism, depression, and drug use, and much more. Screenings can be conducted as part of routine visits in our office or as part of an ongoing care plan.
  • Sick child diagnosis and treatment: When your child is not feeling well, our team is available to help. Same-day appointments are available for sick children. Our office number connects parents to qualified medical advice day or night, weekends and holidays.
  • Weight management and nutritional counseling: A healthy diet is key to a healthy life. Our pediatric team works with patients and their families to develop a nutrition plan that works for their specific needs, including strategies for coping with diabetes and childhood obesity.

A provider is on call for urgent (non-emergent) issues 24 hours a day. When the office is closed, an answering service will quickly relay your message to the provider on call. After you have made contact with the answering service, leave your phone line open so the on-call provider may return your call without delay. 

If this is an emergency, please call 911.

We're here for you. Please call us if you have additional questions or would like to speak to our practice manager.
