Pediatric care for newborns, children and teens in Big Stone Gap

Our Big Stone Gap pediatrician and pediatric team are here to provide comprehensive and attentive care for your little ones. Our pediatric office specializes in care for infants, children and adolescents, and we’re here with you through every step of your child’s journey into adulthood.

At Ballad Health Medical Associates Pediatrics, we offer a full range of pediatric and support services, including:

• General check-ups and care – including screenings, nutritional guidance and behavioral assessment
• School and sports physicals at any time of the year
• All age-appropriate immunizations to keep your newborn or child safe from preventable disease
• Care for chronic conditions and illnesses
• Walk-in availability and same-day or next-day appointments for established patients
• Separate waiting rooms for sick and well patients to keep your child safe

We know that a doctor’s visit can be stressful for your child, which is why we always provide a safe and comforting environment for all our patients – regardless of age. Our team is always ready to make your child laugh or help them feel brave.

Our office features a play area with toys and televisions that continuously play children’s movies or TV shows. We also love giving out stickers and lollipops!

We do accommodate walk-ins, and we also offer same-day or next-day appointments for most sick visits for established patients.

If you need care outside of our hours, you can schedule an appointment for Ballad Health’s virtual urgent care.

Well-child care and annual exams

Well-child examinations are pre-scheduled visits that allow your doctor to track the growth and development of your child while recommending steps to prevent illness or address any of your child’s needs.

Most major insurances offer at least one free well-child exam per year.

These visits are also a perfect time for our pediatrician to check your child’s emotional development and provide any needed immunizations.
