Southwest Medical pediatric care
At Southwest Medical, we focus on your child’s health. We’re part of Optum, which means we use advanced technology to figure out the right care for your child. This way we can let you know the best ways to manage your child’s health conditions.
Sometimes children must take medications for long periods of time. These are considered “routine” for the child. We have direct connections to most pharmacies. We can electronically send prescriptions online for quicker, easier and safer medication ordering.

Immunize on time, every time
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, delaying or skipping vaccines has put children across the country at risk. That’s why diseases like flu, whooping cough and measles are on the rise.
Learn why immunizing your child on time, every time is the right choice at vaccinateyourbaby.org.
We’ll review immunizations at each visit to ensure your child is up-to-date on shots. Licensed nurses give all immunizations. Remember, your child’s doctor may adjust this schedule based on your child’s specific needs.
