About Oak Creek Pediatrics

Oak Creek Pediatrics is proud to be one of the leading primary care practices in Southeastern Wisconsin. We are affiliated with Children’s Wisconsin and have board-certified pediatricians ready to serve your child’s needs.

Children’s Wisconsin is not public testing site for COVID-19. Nationwide access to testing supplies is limited. Children’s is only able to test patients who meet CDC guidelines.

Our mission

The mission of Oak Creek Pediatrics is to:

  • Provide quality, accessible primary health care services to all children in our community
  • Advocate for the well-being of all children
  • Educate children, families, healthcare professionals, and our community regarding the health of children
  • Hold honesty and integrity as essential values to fulfilling our mission

Connected with Children’s

Oak Creek Pediatrics carries with it the Children’s name. That means you can take comfort in knowing your child’s doctor is affiliated with one of the top children's hospitals in the nation. Our pediatricians will connect you directly with the best available doctor if your child ever needs to see a specialist at the main hospital. And best of all, Children’s specialists will keep your Oak Creek primary care doctor updated on any tests, diagnoses, or treatments.
