Whole Child Pediatrics

At Whole Child Pediatrics, we're changing the game when it comes to healthcare. Our revolutionary approach is based on the principles of Integrative Medicine, which means we're here to help you and your family fulfill all your healthcare needs.

Our Integrative model empowers families to make sustainable changes and create the future they deserve. Whether you and your family prefers traditional Western medicine or a more holistic approach, we work with you to take control of your health.

Say goodbye to feeling helpless and overwhelmed by your healthcare journey. With Whole Child Pediatrics, you'll have the support and resources you need to succeed.

All patients are encouraged to call with any questions. The office staff is trained to answer most non-clinical questions, including billing inquiries. For medical related questions or problems, the staff is not able to give any advice over the phone.

If you have a medical related inquiry regarding your child, we’d ask to give us a call at (630) 385-2360 and leave a message with the staff. Your provider, the provider on-call or the nurse will return your call.

Please keep in mind when leaving messages during office hours that our priority is with the patients that are in the office. Thus, your call will be returned once a medical caregiver finishes seeing our priority patients in the office.

If your child or teenager becomes acutely ill after office hours and you cannot wait until the next morning, the “on-call” provider will speak to you or return your call. Our phones are not answered after hours by an answering service, they go directly to the “on-call” provider.

The “on-call” provider will determine whether they can handle the situation by phone and see you in the office the next morning or whether it will be necessary to have your child seen in the emergency room.

Our doctors have a wide variety of skill sets that meld into the perfect team of practitioners for your family's needs.

We have wide and varied backgrounds with different skill sets gained through years of training that will allow us to address your unique needs. We work collectively as a team to ensure that you and your family are cared for in the most comprehensive way possible.

We offer numerous approaches to providing care. Our doctors do not only look at the presenting illness, but look at all the factors that could have led to the current issues. We collaborate with you to fend off future problems by working with you in a preventative health care manner instead of following the traditional model of reacting to illness after you are sick.

1. When the deductible year is almost over and you’re a long way from meeting it.

Your annual deductible probably resets every January 1. Now if it’s December 10th and you’re a long way from meeting your deductible but you need to see the doctor, it might make sense to pay cash.

First, find out how much you’d have to pay out of pocket if the claim is processed through your insurance. Then find out what your medical provider would charge for the service you need if you were to pay cash. Ask if any discounts are available for up-front payment.

Paying cash can sometimes cost less out of your pocket than having the claim processed through the insurance company. Just remember, when you don’t use your health insurance coverage for a medical service, the money you pay out of pocket will not count toward your deductible.

3. When you can find a better price for your prescription drug needs.

Some health plans have affordable copayments for prescription drugs. Others may require you to fulfill a large deductible before the insurer will begin covering drugs. If you’re facing a large deductible, you may want to consider paying for certain drugs out of your own pocket rather than having them processed through your insurance company – especially if you’re nearing the end of the deductible year.

Money you pay out of pocket like this won’t count toward your annual deductible, but certain discount pharmacies or discount drug programs will occasionally give you a better cash price than what you’d have to pay when the claim is processed through your insurance.

Each insurance plan is unique. Many plans have limits and/or exclusions that apply to your child's medical care. We recommend that you check with your individual plan to find out what services are covered, if we are an in-network provider, and how much they will reimburse you for medical expenses. The office accepts major medical in-network PPO insurance. The best way to check if we are in-network with your insurance is to call them and provide our billing NPI (National Provider Identifier) number: 1346598190.

We will continue to see you if you currently have, and we are currently billing, United Healthcare. If you switch to United Healthcare, we will no longer be able to see your family. This is an insurance rule we must abide by. Even though you are established with us, you are considered “new” with United Healthcare.
We will continue to see you if you currently have Aetna. If you are a current patient and switch to Aetna, we will still see your family if it is a plan we accept.
We will continue to see you if you currently have Cigna. If you are a current patient and switch to Cigna, we will still see your family if it is a plan we accept.
