Welcome to Highlands Integrative Pediatrics and the H.I.P studio. Thank you for your interest in this unique model for a pediatric practice. We are thrilled to be a part of the Highlands neighborhood as it has embraced the type of holistic thinking and approach to promoting wellness in children that we are hoping to foster.
I have come to firmly believe that there is a way to combine the best of natural and conventional healing in one center. We don't have to be eastern or western practitioners and patients. We can integrate the two and improve the health of our children and our family in a holistic way that treats each child and family unit as a unique and valued member of our practice community.
We can implement the best of modern science and evidence-based medicine by staying up with current guidelines and utilizing the most up to date diagnostic tools, protocols, medications and care strategies. We offer a full range of pediatric care including well–child check–ups, immunizations, and sick appointments. At the same time, we can learn from ancient and natural traditions that can benefit our children in ways that complement conventional care.
I believe in the power of the connection between a patient and their health care provider. With the genuine connection comes the potential to create a real shift in the course of a patient's health and well-being. This goal of connection is the guiding principle for the design and day to day operations of our practice.
We value accessibility of care and take as many insurance plans as possible. We are excited to create an intentional practice that fosters diversity in all its forms.
We are also attached to the H.I.P studio where we offer parent classes, workshops, and yoga for children and parents.
If this philosophy sounds appealing to you, we would be honored if you consider joining our practice family. Please continue to check back with us at this web address as we will be updating information on group meet and greets and logistical questions that many of you may have.
Thank you for considering joining the H.I.P family.
With gratitude,
Bryan

Hyland's Baby Teething Tablets
- Recently, the FDA released a statement that they are taking Hyland's Baby Teething Tablets off the market. At this time, HIP does not recommend parents using these tablets for their children. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call us at any time.
Zantac Recall
-
Some manufacturers of Zantac (ranitidine) have voluntarily recalled their product. These products were recalled after the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) found trace amounts of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in the medications. NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen. However, NDMA is a known environmental contaminant and is found in many everyday materials like water, meats, dairy products, and vegetables.
There has been no recall of the liquid suspension Zantac formulations to date. The FDA has tested some samples of liquid Zantac and will provide more information about the results of this testing when it is available
In an abundance of caution, our practice recommends current users of the medication have a trial off acid suppression medicine to see if treatment remains necessary. If reflux symptoms return and warrant treatment, please call the office to discuss other medication options. More information is available here.
