History of PPM
Welcome to the longest standing solo pediatric practice in Mobile! In 2003 I left a group practice in Mobile County to begin Pediatric Partners of Mobile. We started out in our current location with me, an RN, a Medical Assistant, and a receptionist. But we quickly expanded to our current size with four Medical Assistants and a Physician Assistant.
One reason I started my own practice was to use emerging technologies, especially electronic medical records. We are the first and only pediatric practice in Mobile to never use paper charts. But more importantly I wanted to work in a practice where I know and am responsible for all the patients. No more handing off difficult cases to a partner and no more “too many cooks in the kitchen” that can sometimes occur in a group setting.
So what’s the BIG DEAL about a small practice?
1. We know you! We have a long history and we are planning for the future.
2. We are involved in our community.
3. Our patients keep coming back.
4. Our #1 source of new patients is now children of former patients. We don’t want to just make a good first impression; we want to make a lasting impression!
