Pediatric Primary Care and Specialists

Providing comprehensive, multispecialty care to children of all ages

District Medical Group (DMG) includes pediatric primary care as well as pediatric medical specialists caring for patients from birth through age 18.

Pediatric Primary Care

DMG pediatricians and pediatric nurse practitioners provide primary care to children at Valleywise Community Health Centers, Valleywise Comprehensive Health Centers and Valleywise Behavioral Health Centers across Maricopa County. Our goal is to help your child stay as healthy as possible. We provide:

Immunizations
Management of chronic conditions and long-term illnesses in collaboration with other medical specialists, as needed
Treatment of minor injuries and illnesses (such as colds, flu, seasonal allergies)
Well-child exams, pre-activity/sports physicals

In addition, DMG family practice providers across the Valley provide care to patients of all ages- from children through senior adults- so your entire family can be cared for at the same location, by the same provider right in your community.
