About

About Holland Pediatric Associates in Holland, MI 

Holland Pediatric Associates is committed to provide excellent healthcare to all children that we care for.

We strive to provide quality, evidence based medicine in a caring environment. The parents and caregivers are critical partners in this process, as we work together to care for your children.



We care for children and adolescents up to twenty-one years of age and are committed to ongoing professional development and education at every level of our organization.


We consider prevention and anticipation of health care needs as important as treatment. In order to obtain this, we make ourselves available for well-child care, as well as same-day sick visits, including evenings and weekends. Our entire team works together to provide quality, up-to-date medical care, education, and advice.


We are also honored to be able to partner with you and your teenagers as you navigate the adolescent years.  We strive to be able to provide a comfortable relationship with your teen, and to maintain their confidentiality, while working with the whole family to encourage an open relationship.

Our goal is to partner with you to help raise your child from newborn into early adulthood with a healthy body and healthy habits.

Our Team Approach

In order to offer our patients continuity of care, we use a team concept within our office. Each team includes one pediatrician and one pediatric nurse practitioner. There is no difference in the quality of care provided by the various teams. The nurses who work with each physician/nurse practitioner are also important team members. You will develop a bond with your physician as well as with their nurses, who are deeply committed to all aspects of your child’s care.

Nurse Practitioners

We built our team around two kinds of care providers: doctors and nurse practitioners. We did so because we believe strongly in providing guidance to parents, fostering well-being in our little patients and their families, and practicing preventive medicine. Doctors do all these, but so do nurse practitioners. These functions are central to their training and role.

You may be wondering what a nurse practitioner (NP) is and why you’d want your child to see one. We have several on our staff, and both parents and patients enjoy seeing them. Here’s why:

First, three main concepts inform how NPs work:

  • Compassion and empathy; after all, they’re nurses first.
  • NPs work with the whole family, not just the patient.
  • They focus on the prevention of illness as well as treatment.

Second, their training is comprehensive:

  • Educationally and professionally, the NP is the highest level of nurse.
  • Our NPs are all registered nurses with Master’s degrees in pediatric care.
  • They study evidence-based medicine and science, just as doctors do.

Finally, there’s no difference in the care your child receives. NPs can:

  • Prescribe medicine
  • Order lab work and further testing as necessary
  • Perform many of the same functions as a doctor.

Consult with a physician if there are concerns outside their scope of practice.
