A vital part of our service to children begins with our outstanding staff who works hard to manage and maintain a professional, caring and supportive environment for our patients in a timely manner. Our doctors and nurse practitioners are lifelong learners who received advanced medical training in pediatrics and continually pursue ongoing education to stay abreast of the latest in child health care.
Your child's health is as important to us as it is to you. We look forward to providing you with excellent medical care your child deserves.
History:
Sandhills Pediatrics has been serving the children of Moore County and the Sandhills region since August 1966. Dr. David Bruton and the late Bill Clarke were the founding partners and their first office was in the Town Center Building in Southern Pines. In August 1986, the practice moved into a new building at its present location on the corner of West Illinois Avenue and Bennett Street. The addition to the building was added in 1996, in order to accommodate the growing number of patients and staff.
In September 2007 Sandhills Pediatrics opened a two doctor office in 7 Lakes to serve the growing 7 Lakes region.
In June of 2011, Sandhills Pediatrics opened a satellite office in Raeford in a rental space in the FirstHealth Fitness center to serve our existing and growing Hoke County families.
In November 2011 Sandhills Pediatrics began construction in 7 Lakes on Grant Drive (next to Masterclean, across from The Italian Table) on a new 4-5 doctor office tenatively scheduled to open Fall 2012.
Sandhills Pediatrics has been recognized by NCQA as a Patient Centered Medical Home, Level 2.
Sandhills Pediatrics now has a staff of ten board-certified pediatricians and three certified Pediatric Nurse Practioners. We promise to continue the tradition of providing quality pediatric care for all the children in the Sandhills Region.
