Exciting News!
We’re excited to share that we’re partnering with Green Valley Therapy to expand access to therapy services for our patients and families! This collaboration will allow us to reach more children while supporting our therapists through connection with a broader professional community.
Therapy appointments will continue to be provided at our Frederick County Pediatrics office. To increase access, Green Valley Therapy will be adding more therapists to our location. Starting June 30, 2025, we’ll begin offering appointments to most families currently on our waitlist. Our goal is to eliminate the waitlist entirely over the summer by expanding both our team and available appointment slots.
