Pediatric Primary Care

PCMH is a team-based model of care designed to continuously improve quality, efficiency, safety and patient satisfaction. PCMH certified clinics have met specific criteria set by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and have demonstrated that they are providing high-quality, patient-centered care.

In your clinic visit, you may see pediatric residents, attending physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses and health care students. Our residents spend three or more years in training at Monroe Carell, in our clinics with patients, or learning the latest heath care advances from our specialists. Your child may see only one doctor, or a resident may ask an attending (supervisor) for a second opinion.

Many of our pediatric clinics offer same day appointments and/or telehealth visit capabilities. We’re just a phone call away.

When your child needs a more specialized level of pediatric medical or surgical care, you’ll experience seamless, coordinated care and communication between you, your pediatrician and our Monroe Carell specialists. Being directly tied to a nationally ranked children’s hospital brings comfort, knowing the quality of care you’ll receive.

Ensuring that all our families are heard and understood is important to us. We offer onsite, video and phone interpretation services for patients and parents who speak limited English, are visually impaired, deaf or hard of hearing. We offer many languages including ALS, Spanish and Arabic.

We offer an easy-to-use online patient portal, My Health at Vanderbilt, for secure access to appointment scheduling and information, medication prescription refills, records and bill pay. Logging in from a smart phone app or on the web, you can easily email medical questions to your child’s provider. You can even link your own account with all your children’s accounts to see your entire family’s medical information in one convenient location.
