About
At Dockside Pediatrics, Dr. Marc Yandle and Dr. Nathan Cook deliver relationship-centered pediatric care in Wilmington, North Carolina. The two co-founded the practice in 2018 as Wilmington's first and only pediatric direct primary care clinic. Both physicians believe quality medicine grows from genuine relationships with patients and their families.
Dockside caps its panel at around 500 patients. Members reach their doctor directly by personal cell phone and email. The practice offers same-day visits, telemedicine, and house calls within a 15-mile radius. Newborns receive home visits through the two-month well-child check. The clinic also added lactation services in February 2022 through IBCLC Megan Guthmann. Appointments run an hour in a relaxed, casual setting with snacks and drinks on hand.
