Providing kids healthcare in Bakersfield

Choosing the right practice for your child is a big decision. At Southwest Pediatrics, we offer a level of care and commitment that truly makes a difference in your child's health and your family's peace of mind. We go beyond routine check-ups and medical appointments: providing specialized expertise, comprehensive support, and a compassionate environment.

Southwest Pediatrics is located directly across from Mercy Southwest Hospital on Stockdale Highway. Our office is in the back of the building, next to the bike trail. Patients come to us from Bakersfield, Taft, Tehachapi, Shafter, Delano, Wasco, Arvin, Buttonwillow, and other communities throughout Kern County.

At Southwest Pediatrics, we understand that children can get sick unexpectedly. We are committed to providing timely access to care for our patients and have established clear processes to accommodate same-day appointments.

Southwest Pediatrics is dedicated to providing compassionate and accessible care for all children, including those with special needs, complex conditions, and developmental differences. We understand that every child is unique, and we strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where each patient feels valued, understood, and receives the individualized care they deserve.

Our on-site access to behavioral health professionals means your family has a more comprehensive support system under one roof, including counseling and mental health support. We also provide 24-hour phone access to triage nurses, in-house EKG testing, and other enhanced services.

The team at Southwest Pediatrics has vast experience and training in managing the unique healthcare journeys of children. Our commitment to ongoing education ensures we're always at the forefront of best practices for our patients.
