Pediatric Location & Care Team

Our Pediatric Health Center at International Circle provides complete care for children of all ages, with medical, dental, and behavioral health services in one convenient location.

While International Circle is our dedicated pediatric health services hub, families can also find pediatricians at other Peak Vista locations across the region. If your nearest health center doesn’t have a pediatrician on site, don’t worry — our family medicine providers also care for children, so your family can access pediatric care at the location that suits you best.

Peak Vista pediatricians can be found at any of the following health centers:

Why This Matters: Families have the flexibility to choose between a dedicated pediatric center or seeing a pediatrician at one of our family health locations closer to home.

Finding a daytime babysitter can often be a barrier to accessing health care, so Peak Vista offers convenient Well-Child Waiting Areas at no cost to our patients. These safe, supportive spaces allow parents to focus on their own health while children enjoy supervised learning and play.

Why This Matters: Connecting families to trusted resources builds stronger, healthier communities.

For more than 50 years, community health centers across the nation have been caring for kids and families. Peak Vista is proud to be part of this tradition.

Community Health Centers (CHCs) provide high-quality, affordable medical, dental, and behavioral health services to everyone—regardless of ability to pay. Today, CHCs serve more than 8.8 million children nationwide.

At Peak Vista, we focus on continuity of care, building strong relationships between families and providers to improve long-term health outcomes. Our programs support success at school, healthy lifestyles, and the overall well-being of children.

Why This Matters: Generations of families have trusted CHCs like Peak Vista to keep kids healthy and cared for.

Peak Vista connects families to the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, which supports nutrition during pregnancy and early childhood.

How WIC helps children:

  • Access to healthy food, formula, and nutrition education.
  • Guidance on feeding infants and young children.

The Community Partnership for Child Development (CPCD) is also onsite at the Pediatric Health Center at International Circle periodically, giving families additional access to early childhood education and support.

Read about WIC Nutrition.

Why This Matters: WIC ensures children and moms have the nutrition they need during the most important years of growth, while CPCD’s presence adds another layer of support for young families.

  1. Do I need a referral?
    You usually do not need a referral to see the psychiatric provider. Talk to your regular provider first, and they can help decide if you need extra care.

  2. Can I still see my regular provider?
    Yes! You will keep seeing your regular provider for your care. The psychiatric provider works with them to help you.

    Sometimes your regular doctor can prescribe medicine for mental health. If you need more help, they might ask the psychiatric provider to help with medicines.

  4. How long is an appointment?

    It depends on what you need. Some people see them once, others more often. Your care team will decide with you what’s best.

  6. What about cost?
    Insurance is different for everyone. If you have questions, ask your care team — they can explain your options. You can also talk to your provider by phone for follow-ups or questions.

For information about appointment copays, ask about our Sliding Fee Scale program.
