Lakes Pediatrics

Membership at Lakes Pediatrics costs $90 per month for each child in a family, with a maximum family cost of $315 per month. That fee covers all visits and all communication, including checkups, mental health visits, parent support, phone calls, text messages, and emails. Many families use HSA accounts to pay the monthly fee. A limited number of reduced-rate and free memberships are also available.

The membership covers everything from well-child visits and vaccinations to acute illness management, chronic disease care, mental health visits, developmental and behavioral screenings, and counseling on nutrition, sleep, behavior, and parenting. It also includes school, camp, and sports physical forms, telemedicine visits, house calls, and 24/7 call and text access to Dr. Hobbs. All communication, not just clinic visits, falls within the membership.
