We love to meet new families!

North Seattle Pediatrics would be honored to be your child’s healthcare provider. We strive to form a close collaboration between our staff, physicians, patients and families, giving us all an active role in your child’s healthcare.

To facilitate your first visit, please download and complete all new patient forms and review our office policies. We look forward to seeing you soon!

We are committed to you and the people you love.

Our team of pediatricians and staff works closely with patients, families and specialists to make every visit and experience a positive one.

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

We now offer telemedicine appointments! 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.

Evening and weekend telemedicine visits are also available. Well child visits cannot be done via telemedicine.

Take the “Pain” out of Pain Reliever Dosing

Be confident that you are treating your child’s pain or fever with the correct dose of medication. We can guide you here on how much Motrin or Tylenol to give, based on your child’s weight. Benadryl too!

Life is busy. Juggling your day-to-day schedule and staying on top of your family’s health care can be a challenge, but our patient portal can help. Access your child’s medical records 24/7 from your home, office or smart phone.

Vaccines save lives.

We believe that vaccinating your child is the most important health-promoting intervention we can provide, and that all children and young adults should receive all of the recommended vaccines according to the schedule published by the CDC and the AAP.

Our office policies play an important role in helping us deliver the best care possible.

    Measles Infection

    There has been at least one confirmed case of measles in King County.

    We will be asking families to send pictures of any rashes via the portal before coming into the office if the patient currently has a fever and rash.

    Per kingcounty.gov: Measles is preventable with the safe and highly effective measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), two doses of the MMR vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing measles and that protection is long lasting.

    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 »
