Hi, I'm Dr. Abby Maidlow.
Welcome to Belleville Lake Pediatrics. I'm so excited to meet you and your family.
I started Belleville Lake Pediatrics because I believe great pediatric care takes time. Time to answer questions, provide guidance, and really get to know the children and families I care for. I want to build open, trusting relationships with families and be a pediatrician you can count on as your child grows.
I love this community that I also call home, and I'm honored to care for its families while providing thoughtful, thorough, evidence-based medicine every step of the way. I can't wait to welcome your family to our little practice by the lake.
Every age
Care that grows with your child.
The same pediatrician from the first weigh-in to the last physical before college.
The first days
A first visit within 24 to 72 hours of coming home. Weight, jaundice, feeding, safe sleep, and honest answers about how little anyone sleeps.
Learning everything
Well-child visits on the full schedule, immunizations, milestones, feeding battles, and the ear infections that arrive at 2am.
Off into the world
Sports and camp physicals, the paperwork school asks for, asthma action plans, and the worries that start showing up at the dinner table.
Becoming their own person
Confidential visits, mental health, acne, and a real plan for moving on to adult care rather than just aging out at 21.
What we do
Care for every stage, from first breath to first apartment.
Newborn & infant care
First visits within 24 to 72 hours of coming home from the hospital, weight and jaundice checks, feeding support, safe sleep, and the reflux or colic that is wearing everyone out.
Read more →Well-child visits
The full schedule from the first days through the teen years. Growth and development, nutrition, sleep, screen time, safety, and time to talk about what is actually going on at home.
Read more →Sick visits
Fevers, ear pain, sore throats, coughs, rashes, pink eye, stomach bugs, sprains, and minor injuries. Call the office to schedule an appointment.
Read more →Immunizations
Patients are required to follow the immunization schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). We welcome families with questions about vaccines and children who need a catch-up immunization plan, but we do not accept families who do not plan to vaccinate their children.

ADHD evaluation and management, anxiety and depression, eating disorders, autism screening, and school or behavior concerns. Telehealth is available for mental health visits.

Sports and camp physicals are available for children and teens who need medical clearance for participation. We'll review your child's health history, complete the required physical exam, and complete any necessary forms.

I am your neighbor on the lake.
I live here. You will spot me running through downtown, out on the lake on a summer weekend, or in line at Frost Boys like everybody else.
Around town
Lake Fest, the Monday night Egan's car show, and the farmers market. If it is happening in Belleville, I am probably there.

University of Michigan, Corewell Health, Trinity Health, Henry Ford Health System, and Children's Hospital of Michigan.
