An exciting day at our new location in Independence

We are officially open at 1331 Monmouth Street - Central Plaza in Independence.

It feels so different to be in our own space in Independence compared to the shared space in Monmouth. I observed our team on opening day greet our patients and care for them with the Small Town Pediatrics hospitality that is so much of who we are. I think we tried our best in the PCRC building but our light was hidden under a bushel.

This is going to be a good move for us and for our families. Our opening day went very smoothly thanks to our team. And we could not have asked for our Polk Co families to be more flexible and patient during the closure. Y'all have really been great. One family told me they have never had a pediatric office treat them the way Small Town Pediatrics does and that is why people stuck with us. This move has been hard won, but is shaping up to offer a meaningful result.
