Welcome to The Kidz Docs, your experienced and caring pediatricians in Alexandria, Virginia!  We are currently accepting new patients into our practice!  

At The Kidz Docs, we offer a full range of pediatric care including prenatal visits for expecting parents, well-child checkups, immunization administration, and sick-child appointments. Our caring team is committed to providing quality service in a comfortable, safe office setting where children and parents can feel at ease. We also have the most up-to-date medical software and technology available that will maintain your child's electronic health records safely and accurately. We will also connect with you virtually, through email and through social media, which makes communicating with your child's medical home easier than ever. As of October, 2017 we are beginning to implement telemedicine. Hopefully this will take off and we can introduce regularly scheduled times for virtual visits. 

We invite you to take a few moments to browse our website and familiarize yourself with our practice.  We hope that it will serve as a valuable resource for you.  You'll find all of the helpful information you need about our practice including provider bios, service details, directions to our office, and new patient forms.

The Kidz Docs looks forward to walking alongside you as you guide your child along a path of optimal health and wellness.  We can assure you that you'll feel confident in our abilities to care for your child. 

Patient education tools are listed on the left side of this home page as a resource for your questions and concerns.
