Parents may schedule visits for their children at any one of the company’s three offices in Pooler, Southside Savannah, or Rincon. At Kids First Pediatrics’ offices, physicians provide sick visits; sports physicals; inpatient care; well-child checkups; and dental, eye, and ear exams for school attendance. In addition, Kids First Pediatrics possesses state-certified laboratories on its premises. All pediatricians in the practice are certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, and all nursing staff are required to be licensed or certified in the state of Georgia.
