Pediatric care focuses on the complete spectrum of care for children under the age of 18.
Specialized physicians called pediatricians help children remain in ideal health and educate parents/guardians on how to keep their children healthy. If a child has a complex medical condition, the pediatrician works closely with health specialists to ensure proper treatment is administered.

“I understand that garnering the trust from a young child is a delicate art,” said Dr. Meyer. “It involves allowing them to be themselves and me facilitating their curiosity.”
Expert Care in Pediatrics
Dr. Meyer’s strong Christian faith inspired him to lead a life of helping others. His interest in science and the function of the human body made his life purpose clear: to be a doctor.
As a father in medical school, he appreciated the complex perspectives of parents, which pointed him in the direction of the pediatric specialty.
Today, he provides well-child visits, sports physicals and immunizations for children. He also treats acute, non-emergent complaints, such as ear infections and sports injuries, as well as common chronic medical conditions in children, including asthma and ADHD.
Active Lifestyle
It’s the small things in life that create meaning and joy for Dr. Meyer. When he’s not working, he enjoys spending time with his family, a wife and daughter, or being in nature.
Some of his hobbies include playing outside with his daughter, contending in a rousing strategy board game, or relaxing with a fishing rod and bobber near water.
