Jacksonville is Florida’s River City by the Sea. With 840 square miles, it is the largest city in the United States. It is a city that still has a small town atmosphere, but has grown to become a sophisticated business city with a penchant for culture, sports and exceptional quality of life. Jacksonville is blessed with natural beauty, located on the northeast tip of Florida. Tucked in and around boundless acres of water, this is Florida’s First Coast. The area is home to over 35 miles of sandy, white beaches; more than 55 world-class golf courses, including the Stadium Course at Sawgrass, beautiful state parks, luxurious spas and resorts, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cultural attractions include the Jacksonville Symphony, the Florida Theatre, which offers national performers on stage nearly every night of the year, touring Broadway shows, and the Museum of Science and History. With a mild year-round climate, Jacksonville offers a wide array of leisure activities for everyone to enjoy, including golf, tennis, boating, deep-sea fishing, kayaking, horseback riding, and shopping.

Inpatient care is delivered at Wolfson Children's Hospital, connected directly to our clinic with a walkway connector. The 216 bed facility includes a new patient tower, a 20 bed PICU, a 12 bed CVICU and 48 Level 2 and 3 NICU beds, with 24 hour critical care coverage.  All pediatric surgery specialties are represented including in-house pediatric hospitalist coverage and 18 pediatric anesthesiologists.
