Pediatrics Reimagined
Comprehensive Wellness, Chronic and Acute Care for Children
Families are the backbone of society. Children are the future. Parents know their children best and are given the incredible gift and responsibility of raising them.
We are so excited to be your trusted resource and advocate for your child’s optimal health and well being physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
At RIH, we seek to listen and adapt to the needs of our community and patients as they arise. One message we hear quite often is that traditional pediatrics is not serving families who are seeking to raise their children with wellness as a primary focus.

Visits
Our new patient visits are 40 minutes and allow us to better get to know your child and family. Our follow up visits are 30 minutes and acute care visits are 20 minutes. We believe that it truly takes time to better understand and get to know our patients and their families and we are dedicated to providing excellent care.
Chronic Childhood Conditions
At RIH, we treat the whole child using an integrative full child approach for chronic conditions like autism, ADHD, allergies, eczema, food sensitivities, abdominal pain, chronic fatigue, GERD, IBS, MTHFR, asthma, anxiety, mood disorders, chronic infections, PANS/PANDAS, mold exposure, autoimmune illnesses and sleep disturbances.
Proactive Care
As a general guideline, we recommend wellness visits for newborns, then ages 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months and then yearly.
As a part of our wellness approach, we will periodically recommend diagnostic tools like hair tissue analysis, nutrient testing, hormone/thyroid testing, yeast testing, IgG food sensitivity testing, MTHFR testing, inflammation markers, allergy testing, candida testing and more.
We will consider other standard and specialized labs depending on the child’s symptoms, history, and heredity.
Acute Care
Our established RIH pediatrics families will have access to a comprehensive acute illness guide and tool kit that will offer help managing sickness at home from an integrative perspective to help parents feel confident when common childhood sickness strikes. We will also offer limited acute visits for those children who need to be seen in the office for further testing and treatment. Please note that we do not offer after hours or weekend hours or on-call services.
INTRODUCING
Your RIH Pediatric Team
Our Mission and Our Why
Over the past three years as corporate medicine has continued to take over, parents feel that they no longer have a voice in their children’s care. Pediatric practices are dismissing families that do not comply with black and white protocols; protocols that do not always take each child’s current state of health into account and are often dictated by corporate policy rather than provider expertise. Our fragmented medical system prevents providers from digging below the surface when children are struggling, and often favors the use of prescriptions or specialist referrals over a more comprehensive approach.
You have a voice with us because we are listening. We encourage questions. We encourage open communication. Together, we strive to make the best long term plan of health for your entire family.
Our pediatric team, Dr. Nicole Craven and Caroline Jones, PA, reflects our strategy that parents know their children best and wellness for kids is not as simple as a routine child check-up. Our goal, as a wellness team, is to address many key aspects of prevention, educate and empower parents, and help each child thrive in and out of our office.
