Welcome to Our Practice

We thank you for choosing Independence and Lee’s Summit Pediatrics to help care for your children, newborn through college age. Our office has come a long way since we first opened as Independence Pediatrics in 1970, and we invite you to browse our newly redesigned web site. Use the tabs at left to find out more about our offices, physicians, frequently asked questions, and more.

Philosophy and Goals

Our philosophy is to provide the best possible comprehensive health care, to be readily accessible to take care of your needs, to help you communicate directly and confidently to your health care provider and to help you to receive sick, as well as routine well care in a easy, simplified and convenient manner.

Our goal is to provide timely, quality professional care in a friendly atmosphere to children 0-18 years of age. Accessibility to providers at all times during business hours and after hours are just some of the advantages to our patients.
