Whole-child care rooted in connection, growth, and integrative medicine
​

At Integrative Family Medicine, we believe pediatric care goes far beyond sick visits. Our goal is to partner with families to support your child’s health from the very beginning, building a foundation of wellness, trust, and continuity of care from birth through age 18.
​
Whether it’s a well-child visit, support for developmental milestones, or care for an acute illness, we’re here to help your child grow strong and thrive. Our providers take the time to listen, educate, and tailor care to your family’s needs.

Our Approach & ​Services

Preventive Pediatric Care
We believe in seeing children regularly, not just when they’re sick. Our team provides compassionate, proactive visits that monitor your child’s growth, development, and overall well-being. These visits are also a chance to address questions and support you in parenting with confidence.
We follow the below schedule for well-child checkups:
  • Birth to 1 month – Visits every 2 weeks
  • 2 to 6 months – Visits every 2 months
  • 6 to 18 months – Visits every 3 months
  • 18 months to 3 years – Visits every 6 months
  • Ages 3 to 18 – Yearly checkups
Newborn Care
We’re honored to care for your baby from day one. We reserve appointment slots each week for newborn visits, typically scheduled between birth and 8 days old. These visits include thorough physical assessments, feeding and sleep guidance, and time to ask questions as you navigate life with a new baby.

Integrative Pediatric Approach
Our providers offer holistic support that blends traditional family medicine with integrative therapies when appropriate. We take into account nutrition, sleep, emotional health, environment, and family values, understanding that health is multi-dimensional.

Vaccine Guidance
We support evidence-based vaccination but also honor informed parental choice. We’re happy to provide our professional guidance and answer questions, but we ultimately respect your role as the decision-maker. You’ll never be pressured or dismissed here.

Sick & Urgent Visits
From fevers to ear infections to unexpected rashes, we’re here when you need us. Our clinics in West Des Moines and Ankeny offer urgent pediatric appointments, available to book online within 48 hours.

Ready to Schedule?

​Appointments can be scheduled online 24/7. If you’re a new family joining our practice, welcome, we’re so glad you found us!
