About the Buckeye Health Center — Pediatric Care 

Immunizations and regular well child care exams (ideally with the same doctor) help keep your child active and healthy. From newborns to adolescents, our pediatricians, nurses, social workers, and dietitians are here to make sure your child receives the excellent care they deserve. But what's more important is the way we treat you — as a person, not just a patient. At MetroHealth Buckeye Health Center — Pediatric Care, our friendly staff works to develop a close relationship with you and your child to share their milestones as they grow.

Pediatric Care is supported by MetroHealth's full scope of services to provide you and your family with the  best health care available. The Center is affiliated with MetroHealth Medical Center, a tertiary care, academic facility which provides comprehensive inpatient and outpatient services and subspecialty referral care. Should the need for these services arise, your health care provider can arrange for them at MetroHealth Medical Center..
