BUSINESS OFFICE

The goal of Physicians To Children is to provide quality infant, child and adolescent health care to families. Our purpose as pediatricians is to help you develop the kind of skills you will want to have to care for your child and to help him or her develop into a healthy and able adult. In doing so, our hope is that you will reap greater pleasure from the many satisfactions of parenthood. The more familiar you are with the fine points of growth, development, and child care, the more easily you will be able to understand and communicate with your child and fewer will be the difficulties.

• Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama
