This!! 100% this. Northside Pediatrics has been running since 1982. We will always be here for your kids with evidence based science to help your kids thrive and become adults (some who bring their kids to us too!! aka grandpatients). It's our honor and our promise, something Dr. Nola has put into this lovely video… now time to get ready for work!

And healthy too! But if you are one of the many who are sick now, please call early tomorrow bc as we are open all day, we have a limited schedule and the last couple weeks have been filling the days early. We are closed today for New Year's but as always a doc is on call for emergencies and check out the CHOA website at www.choa.org if you feel like your child cannot wait until tomorrow. Urgent care hours may have changed due to the holidays and they will be posted here as well as wait times in all the CHOA facilities

Happy New Year's Eve! The best part about 2025 has been seeing your kids and ours grow up! Thank you for sharing them with us, and we are looking forward to a wonderful and healthy 2026 for everyone!

A reminder we are only open tomorrow morning, then we will be closed on the first, and back open again all day Friday. As always a doctor is on call for emergencies. The on-call doctor is not able to do medication refills so if you feel you need refills please call us either today, tomorrow morning or Friday so your P*P can refill them. We continue to be exceedingly busy with multiple various viruses including influenza. While we will try to work as many children in as possible, we do have a limited number of appointments each day so if you feel like your child needs to be seen please call early.

As we are at about the 2/3rd's part of holiday break, i bet you moms understand this too. Get your warm jacket on, and go for a little walk outside or solo trip to Target or if you're stuck at home, give yourself a time out...all pediatrician approved.

Good one to read heading into the New Year with all those resolutions for us and our kids. Tips that actually work! yay!

✨ Do Your Kids Struggle to Do What They Need To Do?✨

Getting kids to do what they need to do (but don’t always want to do) doesn’t have to feel like a daily battle.

I just published a new Substack breaking down practical, compassionate strategies that truly work — from using positive language and visual reminders to offering choices, building routines, and keeping things playful. These are tools that support kids’ autonomy and reduce parent stress… a win for everyone.

If you’ve ever found yourself repeating the same request 47 times or wondering why simple tasks feel so hard, this one’s for you.

Let’s make the “have to’s” a little easier — and maybe even a little fun.

Alas, winter holidays for some are break up season. Good article on how to help...what to say, what *not* to say.

In her new book, First Love: Guiding Teens Through Relationships and Heartbreak, Lisa A. Phillips Shares the dos and don’ts of post-breakup parenting.

Happy Boxing Day! And happy to say we are open all day. An fyi, we will be very busy bc of all the illnesses as well as we have a doc and a nurse out with fever and croup, so if you feel your child needs to be seen, please call early and please be patient as we are trying to see so many sick kids (and newborn Christmas babies, yay!) and our regular check ups too.
