For your convenience, we have several locations surrounding Memphis, including Arlington, Bartlett, Germantown, and Collierville.  We understand that parents have busy schedules, which is why we offer flexible hours at all of our locations, as well as telemedicine visits.  There is always a pediatrician available, day or night, to help you discuss your options and give advice.
