Our services
Our clinic provides routine, acute, and well-child exams, school & sports physicals, immunizations, and immunotherapy injections (for both adults and children in coordination with the Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Center of Alaska). We also have in-house laboratory tests for lead, strep, flu, mono, rsv, and simple urinalysis. More extensive lab tests can be drawn here and sent outside for analysis.
We can provide in-patient and delivery / nursery services at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center in Palmer if you specify one of our doctors as your child’s personal pediatrician. Are you expecting? We will gladly arrange a complimentary prenatal visit in our clinic so you can meet with one of our doctors and get a clinic tour prior to delivery. Call our office to set that up.
Ptarmigan Pediatrics uses state-of-the-art electronic medical records for keeping our patients’ files. Any prescriptions you may need are electronically submitted directly to the pharmacy of your choice.
