A pioneering voice in pediatric medicine, Kendall Connick and the entire Sprout Pediatric team are leading the charge for comprehensive healthcare that prioritizes your child’s long-term wellness.
After becoming a nurse practitioner at LSU and serving at a local pediatric care facility, Kendall Connick and several of her colleagues, Gabrielle Glasgow, MD, Suzy Kingston, MD, and Lauren Hernandez, MD, decided to break off and begin their own practice, with a focus on combining modern general practitioner care with an enhanced focus on wellness.
“We wanted to create a new kind of healthcare environment, ultimately, one focused on not only health but wellness as well,” says Connick. “Parents deserve different and unique approaches to their child’s care, and we provide that with a patient-first focus.”
With an office space designed with kids in mind, Sprout Pediatrics is a fun environment with welcoming smiles and colorful murals to help children feel at ease. Most of the Sprout Pediatrics team members have children themselves, so they understand how scary visiting the doctor can be and make providing a safe, comforting space for your child their top priority.
“Kids are truthful about how they are feeling,” explains Connick. “They are easy to read and will tell you if they are unwell. It’s our job to listen to what they are saying and feeling and treat accordingly.”
Offering the traditional services of a pediatric care clinic, Sprout Pediatric wants to be available whenever your child is sick, offering same-day appointments for when you are in a pinch. The specialists at Sprout Pediatric also offer a variety of wellness treatment options, able to tackle maladies from chronic constipation to anxiety while still offering an insurance-based model for day-to-day ailments.
When it comes to treating children, education is often as important as treatment. With the onslaught of online influencers and product peddlers, new parents might be understandably overwhelmed and unsure of the best direction to treat their child’s ongoing conditions. Thankfully, Sprout Pediatrics prides itself on being a knowledgeable source for your child’s health, maintaining years-long relationships, and providing essential one-on-one support through all the trials of growing up.
“Kids are truthful about how they are feeling,” explains Connick. “They are easy to read and will tell you if they are unwell. It’s our job to listen to what they are saying and feeling and treat accordingly.”
Sprout Pediatrics is on a mission to provide health answers through a steadfast dedication to modern medical excellence coupled with an ever-expanding knowledge base of wellness, providing unique care for your children that will last a lifetime.
Leader Tip:
A great tip for parents to maximize their child’s overall wellness is to monitor their child’s sugar intake by decreasing added sugars from juice or sugary drinks and increasing whole fruits, veggies, and clean water.
