Who We Are Professionals, Specialists, and Experienced Moms

We are honored that you have chosen to trust us with your child’s health and your peace of mind.

We are dedicated to providing you with the best, most up to date, convenient, specialized care. We believe health care is never “one size fits all” and much better delivered by an independent physician whose first and only priority is your child’s health—not a corporation or health care system where interests conflict and success is measured in corporate profit.

We believe in one office, open as many hours as possible.  That way, you and your child have access to all of us at the time that suits you best.

We believe that office should be in your community, not an hour away.

We believe that hospital care needs to be in a PEDIATRIC unit, with 24/7 pediatric physicians on site, pediatric specialty care, university affiliation, and child and infant intensive care.  We will refer your child directly when needed, communicating with our colleagues in writing and by phone, to COORDINATE care and share records rather than duplicating effort and testing.  A specialty visit can mean a trip to Wilmington, Chapel Hill, Durham or Charlotte, but primary and follow-up care will be AT HOME—and convenient.

We believe in the accuracy and clarity of computerized records, but will not let the computer get in the way of our interaction with you.  We will electronically prescribe, for safety, accuracy and quick delivery at your pharmacy.

We have an active patient portal where you can view your child’s records—we hope to have interactive email soon! And  you can find us on Facebook, so we can communicate with you about vaccines, new developments, general scheduling info, weather delays, etc.

After hours, you can call the office line where you will be directed to a trained nurse triage line; they have our specific information on common problems you might have, and one of us is on call as backup 24/7/365.  During the day, advice calls come to our triage nurse, who can quickly get you where you need to be.  We take the medical home concept seriously, and want to help you avoid hospital visits if possible.

ShoreFUN Pediatrics accepts all insurances, including NC but not SC Medicaid. If you need care not covered by insurance, ask about our deep self-pay discount.

At ShoreFUN, we are all mothers. We often have vivid memories of what it was like where you are now. If you can, please use our experience to your advantage.
