Pediatrics
Overview:
To provide world class medical and preventative health care services to the children of the Vicenza Military community.
Scope of Service:
The Vicenza Pediatric Clinic is located within the Patient Centered Medical Home. We currently have one Pediatrician, three Family Medicine Physicians, and one Nurse Practitioner who are credentialed to see children.
We care for children following discharge from the hospital, full term newborns, toddlers, school age children, and adolescents. We can evaluate acute concerns including upper respiratory infections, rashes, ear infections, and others. We can manage chronic conditions such as asthma or ADHD and perform EFMP screenings, command sponsorship screenings, and general preventative checkups.
The clinic performs outpatient circumcisions for male infants 2 days-28 days old. We must have documented evidence of a Vitamin K shot prior to the procedure, and all patients must be seen in the clinic by a clinician prior to circumcision.
Cryotherapy and skin procedures are also performed in the clinic. All patients must be seen in the clinic by a clinician prior to the procedure appointment.
Eligible Beneficiaries:
All dependents enrolled in Tricare Prime will be enrolled to a PCM within the Primary Care Clinic and are eligible to be seen for acute concerns, chronic concerns, well child check ups, and immunizations.
DODEA Dependents will be seen for well child checks, chronic concerns, acute care, and immunizations up to six months of age.
Tricare Standard dependents will be seen on a space-available basis for acute care only.
Please see our Immunizations page for detailed information on immunization eligibility.

Clinic Specific Information:
If your child is not fully vaccinated for their age and is presenting with any acute rash or upper respiratory symptoms, we ask that you inform the staff at the time of booking so that we may properly protect our staff and other patients.
Siblings are allowed to accompany parents and patients for appointments. We advise that all children must be under direct adult supervision at all times.
If there are concerns for a fracture, difficulty breathing, concussion, or other acute concern that could require intervention such as medication administration, radiologic studies with immediate read, or inpatient stay, we recommend that patients be evaluated at a local Emergency Room prior to scheduling a follow up appointment with a pediatric clinician. This is to ensure a full and complete workup as well as our patients’ safety.
