Our Philosophy

We believe in building strong relationships with families, listening attentively to your concerns, and providing clear, honest communication. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about your child’s health. We’re more than just doctors; we’re partners in your child’s journey.

What is Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care is a healthcare model that focuses on a personal relationship between the doctor and patient. By eliminating the complexities of insurance, we can spend more time with you and your child, offering:

Extended Visits: More time to discuss your child’s health concerns.
Same-Day or Next-Day Appointments: Quick access to care when you need it.
After-Hours Availability: Direct communication with your doctor, even outside of regular office hours.
Reduced Healthcare Costs: Transparent, affordable monthly fees.

How We’re Different

DPC practices don’t accept insurance. You pay a monthly fee for unlimited access to your pediatric team. Instead of billing hassles, price confusion, and piles of forms to fill out at each visit, you receive all the care you need for one low monthly price.

DPC is perfect for …

Direct Primary Care is all about personalized care, so it’s going to be a good fit for just about everyone. The membership model makes a lot of sense for:

Parents who want a fixed price (no copays) so they can budget their healthcare expenses without worrying about unexpected or hidden medical costs at each visit
Families with high-deductible insurance plans who usually pay for every office visit no matter how minor the issue
Families with inconsistent health benefits who want to keep the same provider through career/insurance plan changes
Parents who want longer visits to ensure all their questions are addressed and reassurance on what they are facing with their child
Families who need appointments with short wait times and ease of scheduling (online scheduling of appointments for those midnight coughs)
Parents who want to talk to their pediatrician instead of filling out long forms and questionnaires
Parents who want to be able to text or email their pediatrician to address certain concerns without having to make a trip into the office

How Real Patients Benefit from Nova Pediatrics

The Patel Family

The Patels have two healthy kids: 5-year-old Arjun and 1-month-old Ava. They have good insurance with a high deductible.

Medical Visits in the Past Year:
- Arjun had:
  - 5-year checkup
  - Behavioral issues
  - Strep throat (urgent care visit)
  - Flu vaccine
  - Bruise/bump on head
  - Weird rash
- Ava had:
  - Checkups and vaccinations
  - Weight gain concern
  - Breastfeeding help
  - Vomiting/diarrhea
  - Cough, congestion, breathing concerns (several visits)

The Patels’ Experience

They made several doctor visits that cost over $1,300 out of pocket. They also wasted time coordinating visits that could have been handled remotely (e.g., diagnosing rashes through photos). With unrushed appointments, they could have addressed all their concerns at once. Nova Pediatrics offers a different approach: no extra charge for longer visits, additional questions, or text messages. This membership eliminates the need to deal with insurance forms and paperwork, saving time and frustration.

The William’s Family

New Parents’ Experience

New parents Mark and Emily are discovering that having a baby can be overwhelming. Between endless questions about their little one’s health and well-being, they’re finding it hard to get a handle on things. Visits to the pediatrician are overwhelming, with lengthy forms to fill out, brief appointments, and extra charges for asking questions.

Despite having good insurance, Mark and Emily have still had to pay out-of-pocket for many of these visits. And with a fussy baby who requires frequent check-ins, they’re eager to find a more streamlined solution that prioritizes their needs and reduces their stress levels.

A Better Way

As new parents, Mark and Emily thought they were prepared for the demands of caring for a newborn. But reality quickly set in – sleepless nights, endless questions, and a never-ending stream of appointments with their pediatrician.

That’s why Nova Pediatrics is different. We prioritize personalized care without the hassle of paperwork and lengthy appointments. Our unrushed appointments give you time to ask all your questions, and our membership includes regular check-ups, sick visits, vaccinations, text and email support, and initial lactation visit. With us, Mark and Emily can focus on raising a happy, healthy baby.

The Smith Family

The Smith family has a school-aged 7-year-old son, Julian, who faces challenges managing his asthma and ADHD (and bit of anxiety). With frequent doctor visits and medication changes, the family often finds themselves struggling to stay within their health insurance deductible. To make matters worse, they’re forced to stretch out their check-ins just to save money and time.

It’s not fair that Julian has to navigate these chronic conditions without proper support. That’s why Nova Pediatrics is a perfect fit for this family – we understand that extra attention is needed, and we don’t charge extra for it.

Here’s how Nova Pediatrics care would work:

Regular check-ins, whenever needed, in the way that works best for the family (texting, virtual, or in-person)
Ongoing communication about Julian’s progress, including updates on his school performance and medication adjustments
Seamless coordination with specialists if additional care is required, ensuring Julian gets the help he needs without delay
