The break from school is shorter than usual this summer and Pediatric Health Care Alliance is encouraging you to schedule your child’s summer wellness visit now while appointment schedules have more availability. “We are asking parents to call now and schedule their child’s visit in June or early July this year. The weeks just before school starts will be extremely busy in our offices, especially with the school calendar change, so scheduling your appointment earlier offers more flexibility to fit in your family’s schedule,” says Marketing Director Laurel Moffat. 
 
Pediatric Health Care Alliance has multiple locations throughout Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas Counties. Their Suncoast office is conveniently located on Crossings Boulevard at Suncoast Crossing, easily accessible from State Road 54 near Suncoast Parkway. 

Parents trust Pediatric Health Care Alliance’s Suncoast Office when it comes to their children’s health, and both Dr. Melody Baade and Dr. Ignatius Tan have years of experience in pediatric healthcare. “I enjoy being able to make a difference in a child’s future by helping them to take care of their health now,” says Dr. Baade. “Their health as a child can affect their health as an adult. I have always loved children and loved working with them. It is a joy to help them obtain a healthy, happy start in life.” 
 
Dr. Baade says she and everyone at Pediatric Health Care Alliance feel that the parents are the best advocates for their child’s health. “Parents know their child better than anyone else. We want to give advice and guidance when it comes to our patients’ health but we also want to build an alliance with the parents and work with them every step of the way.” 
 
Both children and adults respond to the outgoing and friendly personalities of the doctors and staff. “People respond to joy,” says Dr. Baade. “If you are joyful in your job and love what you are doing, children will sense that and respond positively to you.” 
 
Pediatric Health Care Alliance’s Suncoast Office gives you access to the best of both worlds – a cozy neighborhood office as well as access to a network of resources. When you are a part of the Pediatric Health Care Alliance family, you have access to a wide network of caring, qualified health professionals. If you have an urgent care need after hours or when you are in another part of town, your child can go to any Pediatric Health Care Alliance office from Wesley Chapel to St. Petersburg, Largo to Lithia. With 12 neighborhood offices in Pasco, Hillsborough, and Pinellas Counties you can rest assured that your child will be well taken care of wherever you are in the Tampa Bay area. 
 
If you are a new or expecting parent or are new to the area, Pediatric Health Care Alliance invites you to schedule a Welcome Visit to get to know the staff and doctors at their Suncoast Office. “We encourage parents-to-be to schedule an introductory visit about two to three months before their due date or adoption,” says Laurel. 
 

In addition to caring health professionals who are dedicated to your child’s wellbeing, Pediatric Health Care Alliance’s Suncoast Office is designed with your child’s comfort in mind. There are three separate waiting rooms – one for well children, one for sick children, and one for newborns. And if your child is sick, it is easy to schedule a same day appointment. 
 
The Pediatric Health Care Alliance Suncoast Office serves children in Odessa, Land O’ Lakes, Trinity and all the surrounding communities.
