Why Pediatric DPC at Optimal Living
Because a DPC is based on a membership model, we are able to personalize your child’s health care needs. Our team focuses on personalized care management, knowing each family member by name and being available to you whenever you need it, whether it’s via text message, phone call, or an in-person appointment. We focus on prevention to minimize visits to a costly emergency room or urgent care. This isn’t always possible, but many emergent events with children are preventable if managed quickly. An added benefit is having 2 on site chiropractors who are trained in Functional Nutrition. Our chiropractic team is here to help you as needed with your chiropractic or functional nutrition needs at an added cost. Our goal is to focus on health, healing and prevention, helping to promote wellness for your children that will last a lifetime.
