What makes us different
Families drive from across North Georgia for these. Ask any of them at your first visit.
One of the few independent pediatric practices in North Georgia with Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition: coordinated care, measured quality, and a team that knows your child’s whole story.
Dr. Viswanadham holds additional REACH Institute training, so ADHD, anxiety, depression and developmental concerns are handled here, without a months-long wait for a specialist.
A medical home for children with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, wheelchair users and complex medical needs: longer, calmer visits, care coordination with therapists and schools, and help with IEP, 504 and waiver paperwork, from birth through 21.
Text or call when we open and your child is seen that day, in the office or by video. Dr. Viswanadham is fluent in Spanish, so Spanish-speaking families get their questions answered directly, without an interpreter.
Children Dr. Viswanadham cared for two decades ago now bring their own babies, and several families drive an hour or more from Fayetteville, Peachtree City and Jonesboro to keep seeing her. Care runs from newborn to 21.
Reach Out and Read books at every visit, art workshops, flu clinics and story times: a practice that is part of the neighbourhood, not a franchise.

Teen (12–18 years) · Young adult (18–21 years)
Dare2Care Pediatrics sees patients through age 21. From 18 the patient, not the parent, controls their records and decisions; we keep well visits, mental health screening and vaccines going and plan the move to an adult doctor together.
Growth & development, Behavioral & mental health
Infant (2–12 months) · Toddler (1–3 years) · Preschool (3–5 years)
Milestones are the things most children do by a certain age: a social smile by 2 months, sitting by 9 months, first words by 15 months, two-word phrases by 30 months. Missing one is a reason to check in, not to panic; early help works best.
Growth & development
Infant (2–12 months) · Toddler (1–3 years) · Preschool (3–5 years) · School age (5–12 years) · Teen (12–18 years) · Young adult (18–21 years)
In Georgia’s heat, children overheat faster than adults. Keep babies under 6 months out of direct sun, use SPF 30+ mineral sunscreen from 6 months, offer water every 20 minutes during play, and never leave a child in a car, even for a minute.
Safety, Seasonal
