Frequently Asked Questions

  • I care for children from infancy to young adulthood, supporting each stage of growth and development in a thoughtful, individualized way.

  • If you’re looking for thoughtful, personalized care and a deeper understanding of your child’s health, this is likely a good fit. A meet-and-greet is the best way to explore whether this approach feels right for your family.

  • I combine evidence-based pediatrics with an integrative, root-cause-focused approach. I take the time to understand your child’s health, development, environment, and your family’s goals, so we can create a plan that truly fits your life.

  • Visits are unhurried and focused on understanding the full picture. You’ll have time to ask questions, feel heard, and leave with a clear, personalized plan.

  • Virtual visits are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform designed to make connecting with Dr. Amber simple and convenient from the comfort of home.

    Virtual care is available for families located in states where Dr. Amber is licensed, including Florida and Illinois.

  • Yes, when appropriate. My approach is to first explore the least invasive options and use medication when it is truly the best option for your child’s well-being. I also work with families to consider nutrition, lifestyle, and other supportive approaches when appropriate.

  • I take an individualized, thoughtful approach to vaccines. My role is to provide clear, evidence-based guidance while respecting each family’s values, concerns, and pace. I believe in open, judgement-free conversations so parents can make informed decisions.

  • I do not bill insurance directly. This allows me to provide more personalized, unhurried care. Upon request, I can provide documentation that you may submit for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan.

  • Availability can vary, but I do my best to offer same day appointments.

  • Families interested in ongoing pediatric care are encouraged to schedule a meet-and-greet first. This gives us an opportunity to connect, discuss your child’s needs, and ensure the practice feels like the right fit for your family.

    We also offer as-needed visits for families who are not seeking ongoing membership, based on availability.
