We hope you see us as your medical home and the first line of care for your children. The pediatricians at ECU are board certified and specialize in treating children from birth to age 18.
With the outstanding credentials of the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, you can be assured of the most advanced care possible, provided by compassionate, expert physicians. Your loved ones are our focus.
For healthy children, we provide check-ups and full care for illness, injury and other medical needs.
For children with chronic conditions or other concerns, we have comprehensive expert medical management including evaluations for developmental progress, as well as diagnosis and recommendations for conditions such as ADHD (attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder) and autism.
If your child needs further assessment, we can refer to the many specialists at ECU Pediatric Subspecialty Care. Those specialties include cardiology, oncology and hematology, endocrinology, infectious diseases, developmental evaluation and others. We also offer a Diagnostic Dilemma Clinic for children with difficult-to-diagnose problems and special services for adolescents.
Working with physicians in the community, we have an after-hours Acute Care Clinic open to all children in the community.
