Visit us from the comfort and safety of your own home.

For many concerns, such as follow up appointments, consults and even some sick visits, we can see your child with a telemedicine visit from the comfort and safety of your own home. We want to provide you with expanded access to your child’s medical home and keep your family out of the emergency room or urgent care.

Appointments are during regular office hours. Well child visits cannot be done via telemedicine.

Toy Drive Success

Thank you for your generous donations and support for the Forgotten Children's Fund. Thanks to your contributions, we collected five boxes of donations at the clinic before the gift-wrapping event.

A special thank you to our dedicated staff who spent their Sunday wrapping gifts for some of the 20,000 families in our community that this organization supports. One group had the joy of selecting and wrapping gifts for a family with children aged 8, 9, and 14. Each family also received a coat, gloves, hat, socks, and a blanket.

We look forward to participating in this heartwarming event again next year!

Kickstart the School year with a Mental Health Check-In
It's back-to-school season!
We hope summertime was great for everyone! September marks the start of school year for most schools. As the year begins, there’s a growing focus on more than just new supplies and classroom readiness.

It's a time to consider the emotional and mental well-being of students as they prepare for the new academic year. We encourage you to do a mental health check-in with your children! Mental health check-ins can help by setting a positive tone for the upcoming months, ensuring that your children are prepared to face the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

If you see your child struggling with any behavioral or emotional health concerns, please reach out to make an appointment with your PCP. You can also request to seek services with our integrated behavior health therapist, Maitreyee, who works with children for various behavior and emotional challenges.

Dr. Herb Hilgers

Dr. Herb Hilgers was one of the founding doctors of North Seattle Pediatrics. It was an honor to work with him. He will be missed.

(CLICK THIS LINK TO VIEW HERB'S MEMORIAL VIDEO)
Shared by Kryss Abreu Bywater 2/6/23: A week ago today, we lost one of this world's best men, Herb Hilgers. It has taken me the past seven days of deep grieving to work up the emotional effort to post this tribute to my bonus dad. And oh, what an incredible bonus he was. Herb officially became my bonus dad in 1982 when he married my mom. From the very beginning, he loved and treated me as if I were his own child. Through his words and actions, he taught me how one should treat their life partner. He taught me what it meant to truly be selfless and non-judgmental. Read more »

To our patients and families,

As your medical home, we want to clearly state that we believe racism and inequality in all their forms are detrimental to all aspects of health.

We stand together to fight against racism, injustice and inequality, and we believe in equity and inclusion. We believe in providing the highest standard of medical care to all children and their families, regardless of the color of their skin, the language they speak, their gender or orientation.
