Complete Child Care
SMC’s Family Care Clinic has a superb team of providers who will care for you and your child as part of their own family. They go the extra mile and collaborate when needed.
Often as a new parent, there are many questions on a variety of topics, including:
sleep patterns, eating habits, social behaviors, movement milestones and so much more.
Bright Futures, published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, are the guidelines SMC Family Care Clinic utilizes to confirm your child is meeting milestones on time at each Well-Child Check. Each child is different. Our providers have connections with other specialists when needed.
