Where you will find me

Belleville Lake stretches eight miles through Van Buren Township, and the town builds its whole calendar around it. So do I.

• Belleville Lake Fest in the summer, down at the water.
• Egan's car show on Monday nights, which is somehow the most reliable social event in town.
• The farmers market, and honestly most weekends downtown.
• Frost Boys, because ice cream is a legitimate part of pediatric care.

Good places to take kids around here

• Horizon Park for the boardwalk, the kayak launch, and the best sunset on the lake.
• Victory Park at Five Points for the playground and the gazebo.
• Village Park on Savage Road for the ADA accessible playground, trails, and courts.
• Van Buren Park for the beach, the trails, and the birding along the water.

Working with local schools

There is no formal partnership with Van Buren Public Schools or the local preschools yet, but we would like one. If your school, team, or church group could use a pediatrician for a health talk, a screening day, or a sports physical event, get in touch. We would rather show up than send a flyer.

Specialists and referrals

When a child needs care we do not provide, you do not just get handed a phone number. We refer to University of Michigan, Corewell Health, Trinity Health, Henry Ford Health System, and Children's Hospital of Michigan, and we help you actually get in the door.
