We're here and ready to help! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/cbe05116-c8b0-4685-ab0a-d2df53f14cb7/Up%21+%281%29.png Home We recommend that your kids have their routine well-child checks to ensure their ongoing health. Caring for your kids is our favorite! Please keep in mind that if there are concerns that need additional attention, a copay may be required by your insurance. This is a rule we are required to follow—we are obligated by insurance companies to document everything we do during a visit, and their rules may require a copay based on what we do. We don’t want you to ever be surprised, and we hope you understand! We can also set up separate appointment to fully address your concerns—they’re valid and important, and sometimes we need extra time to make sure you get the time you deserve! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/9283a5e4-030e-4c56-8c54-e11d6b239e1f/Why+We+Vaccinate+An+Open+Letter+to+Parents.png Home We can’t take credit for this letter, but we couldn’t have written it better ourselves. Head to the blog to read this—you’ll be glad you did. Routine childhood vaccination is one of our best tools for keeping your kids healthy and safe. We’re grateful for the voices of all Pediatricians in advocating for children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/202512aa-5fdf-48cd-bbba-cbd41ae9e783/Untitled+design+%287%29.png Home We all need snacks. You know when you do something hard that you didn’t to, so you take yourselves to Starbucks? This is like that, only for babies! Especially after vaccines, a little break and a feed can go a long way for feeling better! (we even have a changing table in there, but please take home your treasures so that the room stays pleasant for the next parents =) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/8ed328a7-2068-4986-9929-d05ee0eaf4e8/IMG_1039.jpg Home We’re growing! We’re excited for you to meet Abbie Seeliger, PA-C, MPAS, starting in June! A little about Abbie: she was born and raised in Reno and is a proud seventh generation Nevadan. After graduating college from University of Notre Dame and receiving her Masters degree in Physician Assistant Studies from Touro University in Henderson, NV, she eagerly moved back to Reno full-time. Outside of work, she loves to read, play volleyball and pickleball, and spend time in Lake Tahoe with her friends and family. She enjoys spending every extra moment with her husband and her kitty, Azriel. She is so excited to be a part of her patients’ care as they grow up! Welcome to the Summit family, Abbie! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/a66787f6-775c-471b-93cf-d8a9072c2397/IMG_5246.jpg Home …and still growing! Meet Alexis Phillips, MSN, FNP-BC, starting with us in August! Alexis grew up in Northern California and has lived in the Reno/Sparks area for the last 15 years. She worked as an Intensive Care Nurse for most of her career. Alexis completed her graduate studies through Chamberlain University and is a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner. She loves caring for and engaging with patients and families in all stages in life. In her spare time, Alexis loves spending time with her family and friends and tries to get outdoors any chance she gets, especially for camping, fishing, hiking or sunny beaches. We can’t wait for you to meet Alexis! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/879a93fc-6110-413d-82b5-d2d4e0fb359e/353D3D10-7C3C-40ED-AF8B-27918822E469.PNG Home This year, we’re proud to be partnering with Girls on the Run Sierras to support local girls! If you’re not familiar with GOTR, it’s an incredible program that builds confidence, leadership skills and a love of running in girls starting in 3rd grade. Check out their website if you’re interested in learning more, and maybe we’ll see you out there! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1febc251-e56c-43bc-a11d-0f00ad4a8827/Be+amazing.png Home - Friendly request from your Summit Team: With cough/cold (strep/COVID/flu/RSV/HFM…) season upon us, we want to make sure we have enough appointments to care for your kiddos if they need us! If you have an appointment scheduled and something comes up (even if you’ve already confirmed), please give us a call so we can open that appointment up to someone who needs us that day! We get it—life happens. Just keep us in the loop! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/b78c7353-9ffa-4208-9551-5643989662b3/Dark+Blue+Colorful+Jungle+Illustration+New+Podcast+Update+Instagram+Post.png Home Starting in 2024, we will be instituting a $50 fee for no-show appointments. Life happens! Kids and cars and jobs don’t always cooperate. Just give us a call if you have something come up so that we can give that slot to another child who needs it urgently. Thanks for understanding! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1618606037330-9DRVEWQUK7TB6846WEGB/canva-photo-of-kids-playing-with-wooden-blocks-MAD9m5oZx3M.jpg Home - How to Find Us Call us at (775) 624-6350 Billing questions?

If your child is sick and you need advice after our usual office hours, call our office number to be connected to our answering service. They can connect you to the on-call pediatrician. https://www.summitpediatricsreno.com/insurances-accepted daily 0.75 2024-05-22 https://www.summitpediatricsreno.com/what-to-expect daily 0.75 2025-10-27 https://www.summitpediatricsreno.com/talkingpoints daily 0.75 2021-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1619489329938-7OWGNF3QPZJIPMNLYPOZ/carseat.png Things pediatricians like to talk about - Car seats! Do you guys have any idea how hard it is to find a stock photo that shows a child properly restrained in a car seat? That’s because between bucket and toddler seats, rear- or forward-facing seats, it’s CONFUSING. But it’s so important to get it right, which is why we will always answer your questions about it. Please don’t get mad if Dr. Raman gives your harness a tug on the way out—she did it to her husband too. It’s her own compulsion and she’s dealing with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1619489569337-6A17A8P18RKKHTQDE61S/swimming2.png Things pediatricians like to talk about - Water safety! Drowning is a leading cause of death in children, so it’s no wonder we take this super seriously. Children should never be left unsupervised in any amount of water, and learning water safety early is critical—the AAP recommends swim lessons as early as 1, though many programs start water play with parents even sooner. Flotation devices can lower risk, but nothing can ever replace close supervision. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1619489753111-PZA6MGNOPJWS6YMSCWG7/unrealisticveggies.png Things pediatricians like to talk about - Healthy Diets! This picture is probably unrealistic. That’s not a real child. But we know that healthy diet habits start from a very young age, even when they’re crazy picky. Keep healthy foods available at all times, always offer a veggie with meals if you can, and eat them with your kids! Pinterest can tell you all the fun faces you can make with your veggies, but that sounds EXHAUSTING. Just keep them around! If you have a garden, have them help, or take them shopping with you to choose a new veggie to try—they may be more willing to try it if they feel some ownership. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1619491468697-NJHKS1OGCIZBYWHDEC0P/brushing.png Things pediatricians like to talk about - Dental Health! It’s good to get your baby in the habit of brushing early, even if all they want to do is chew on the brush (there’s just something about that banana). Remember, Reno doesn’t have fluoride in our water, so even babies need fluoride supplementation! We recommend seeing the dentist at least every 6 months after age 2. We have lots of recommendations for great dentists in town—just ask! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1619499081576-4VOZEUJ5TG3NVAYK35XT/unrealisticbiking.png Things pediatricians like to talk about - Helmets! What do we like about this picture? Is it the charming but unrealistic outfit choices or the fact that no one seems to be complaining? No! It’s that everyone is wearing a properly fitted bike helmet! If you’re not sure how they should fit, just ask. Teens: the front of your bike does not count! Parents: You need yours too— it’s all about modeling safety! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1619497818447-J2BHG5V92HT8ODV96MQU/screens2.png Things pediatricians like to talk about - Screen time! Look, we’re going to level with you: this is hard to avoid. And even harder to stick to the guidelines, which are 2 hours or less per day of screen time, and none under age 2. But we live in the real world, too, so it’s all about finding balance. Make sure your kids are getting lots of activity as well, and try to make their screen time educational and engaging where possible. For the big kids, make sure you have good parental controls and have a discussion with your teens about what is safe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1619493628519-8FP3QD3KNXD5YQV9SA37/coloringcutie.png Things pediatricians like to talk about - Healthychildren.org in General! This website has everything. It’s the parent resource website run by the American Academy of Pediatrics, so it has a ton of trustworthy information, and more every day. It’s always a great place to start if you ever have questions. But we’re here too =) https://www.summitpediatricsreno.com/general-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1619477820676-UMPWYB9X2FTZCRO8084X/swinging.png Vaccine Info - COVID-19 Vaccines We believe in the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines, and their role in controlling this pandemic and keeping kids safe. Experience has shown that they cannot prevent COVID entirely, but they are proven to significantly decrease the risk of serious complications of COVID, such as MIS-C, long COVID and death. Like many of you, we still believe that the COVID-19 vaccine is be a safe and important part of keeping your children healthy. Please feel free to ask us questions! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1619477511502-CYC4L8OTB8KALAJYA86G/playground.png Vaccine Info - Flu Shot Clinics It’s our goal to get everyone vaccinated against the seasonal flu! Each Fall, we have vaccine clinics designed to get you and your kids in and out (and protected) as fast as possible. Call us or follow us on social media to learn more about our Flu Shot Clinic schedule! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1619478277372-5DA7SN5L5FWYGTO9FW30/bike.png Vaccine Info - Routine Vaccinations It is so important to us that your kids are kept up to date on their routine childhood vaccinations. Their health depends on it! Many of their early check-ups come with vaccines, because that’s when they’re needed most. We will always be happy to answer your questions about vaccines. It’s kind of our jam. https://www.summitpediatricsreno.com/prospective-families daily 0.75 2025-09-11 https://www.summitpediatricsreno.com/forms daily 0.75 2023-06-13 https://www.summitpediatricsreno.com/patient-portal daily 0.75 2021-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847914069-83LTMROG2H2YB1JMZ1GS/image-asset.jpeg Patient Portal Our EMR, nAbleMD, has a parent portal where you can download documents such as well notes, shot records, message your team, or do telemedicine visits. https://www.summitpediatricsreno.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2021-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1626125866581-MER9KXWOPF5F45W51T9V/qrcode.61870409.png Testimonials https://www.summitpediatricsreno.com/accessibility daily 0.75 2021-07-12 https://www.summitpediatricsreno.com/team daily 0.75 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1618669847845-ZY6ME7TLEIU6DKPMGP32/Cathy-Olsen-300x300.jpeg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1618669888763-COECC4XI4V7VGM3WKAXE/IMG_2553.JPG Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/523642ca-a8bd-4ba5-956d-ec6c20efdf0d/SummitPed-205.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/8070aa7b-29f5-49a6-839f-41bf46dbe623/SummitPed-189-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/83e38a48-ca14-4745-b465-f0b37c789170/SummitPed-184-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/4db0a121-ea43-4495-a8bc-d30ca569eb4e/SummitPed-228-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/728e9069-dc1c-4bba-8241-25b1c42dbd35/SummitPed-318-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/59c4b4cb-76c0-4183-acb9-728d50746292/SummitPed-212-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/153e5f2c-4f23-4eeb-b879-17e31bf248a6/SummitPed-256-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/bce1d6aa-8e25-4523-b6b5-4c4b61f59661/SummitPed-235-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/f570c6d6-c70f-4cee-bb60-ba9a7ac83662/SummitPed-128-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/b128bf9b-9433-4c5b-9214-492176f3eb80/SummitPed-278-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/29cfb35f-4aea-41f3-a993-1bfb79d48991/SummitPed-299-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/77c7f95d-0075-43c2-b74a-93390e884e5d/SummitPed-049-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/3f477db9-b271-486d-9cb5-3046275de38b/SummitPed-390-1.jpg Our team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/389be666-8de8-4143-950f-3ebe5a75fec8/SummitPed-104-1.jpg https://www.summitpediatricsreno.com/careers daily 0.75 2025-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1737584330187-BG6ABZXS5R847SEG8921/unsplash-image-RjLfu0B004A.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6078ecdb10a9ed687758023f/1737584132256-4J7N3XKQR6WZPTGGF2GB/unsplash-image-lJ6iASrFAnQ.jpg
