- Pediatric CareOne of the founding partners, Dr. Joseph Damron Sr., began practicing pediatrics in Winchester in 1952. He came here to take over the practice of another pediatrician who was giving up medicine to become a Trappist monk. He joined clinics with another local physician who unfortunately passed away a year later, leaving Dr. Damron as the sole pediatrician in town.
- Emergency CareElle grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After completing her undergraduate studies, she moved to Virginia, where she worked in medical oncology followed by the emergency department for five years as a registered nurse.
- ImmunizationsIn addition to our regular workweek hours, we have office hours in the evenings, weekends, and holidays. We always have same day appointments available for ill children. Even if we are busy, we try to find a place in the busy schedule to take care of our families. We offer well child checks, immunizations, preschool and kindergarten physicals, camp and scout physicals, sports and college physicals throughout the year.

- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD), is a national non-profit, tax-exempt (Section 501(c)(3)) organization providing education, advocacy and support for individuals with ADHD.
- Mental HealthWhen children are young they come often for check-ups partly because they are growing and changing quickly and partly because they need immunizations. When they reach school age they still are growing and changing albeit not as rapidly. We do feel there are benefits to coming in for a regular physical every year during the school years. We continue to plot weight and heights, monitor blood pressures, follow development, watch for growth issues, update immunizations, discuss proper nutrition, evaluate school performance, screen for mental health issues when appropriate, track pubertal changes and much more. Additionally, if your child does school sports, scouts, camps or other activities which require physical forms, we can then sign all of those documents for you for the upcoming year. Children with health issues such as asthma, diabetes, ADHD or who look to us to refill medications that they take on a daily basis should be seen every year.
