community & partners

A cornerstone of the cities we serve.

Healthy kids are a community project. Since 1994 we have believed a practice should be part of a city's foundation: a resource families lean on, not just a place they visit twice a year. This is where we share the local resources we trust, the partnerships we are proud of, and how we give back to Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and the mid-peninsula.

for families

Local resources we trust.

A curated, growing directory of the providers and services we refer our own patient families to. Every listing is here because we know the people behind it.

Directory

Pediatricians & specialists

The local pediatricians, ENTs, and specialists we collaborate with most often, chosen for the same reason families choose us: judgment we would trust with our own kids.

Directory

Feeding & early childhood

Lactation consultants, feeding therapists, and speech-language partners for our youngest patients, especially families navigating tongue-tie and early feeding questions.

Directory

Access to care

Low-cost dental and health resources for families in our area who need them, because honest care includes knowing where to send people we cannot serve best.

Full listings are being added as we confirm each partner. Want a recommendation today? Call us at (650) 321-6448 and we will point you to the right person.

Our philosophy

Your referral reflects on you

Evidence-thresholded restoration, prevention-first planning, and honest communication with families, so sending a patient our way reflects well on your judgment.

giving back

Reinvesting where we're rooted.

From donated care days to local sponsorships, we reinvest in the community that has trusted us with its children for three decades. We are building slowly and on purpose: a practice designed to serve this area's families long after any one of us. If you run a local organization that serves kids, introduce yourself.

Part of the community, not just in it.

Whether you are a parent, an educator, or a fellow provider, we would love to hear from you.

See you soon

Stop in. Say hi to the bears.

First visits include a tour, a meet-the-tools moment, and zero pressure. We'll go at your child's pace.
