Where Did the Name “Front Porch Pediatrics” Come From?
Many people have asked how Front Porch Pediatrics got its name, and we love sharing the story.
Before opening her own practice, Dr. Tun worked alongside Dr. Vance and Dr. Stafford at one of the first and most influential pediatric offices in Chattanooga. Their office was in a home, and they actually closed in the front porch to create a cozy waiting area for families. That welcoming “front porch” space became such a special part of the practice …and the name stuck.
When Dr. Tun opened Front Porch Pediatrics in 2011, she wanted to carry on that same warm, community-centered feeling, a place where families feel at home from the moment they walk in.
In 2012, Dr. Sanabria joined the practice, and together they continued building something special. Front Porch Pediatrics was proud to be the first pediatric office to open in Ooltewah, TN, and we are so thankful to care for families in this growing community.
From our front porch to your family, thank you for being part of our story.
