against COVID-19, RSV, Influenza, and other illnesses.
Newborn & Infant Care
Dr. Whittaker provides newborn care from the very beginning, including hospital visits at Providence Newberg Medical Center and Legacy Meridian Park Hospital. We’re here to support your baby’s health and development — and help your family navigate those exciting, sometimes exhausting, first months.
Well Child Care
Coming in for regular checkups helps us follow your child’s growth and development while giving you time to talk about how things are going. We’ll discuss what to expect in the year ahead, explore health and developmental goals, and make plenty of room for your questions.
Illness & Injury Care
When your child is sick or injured, we’re here to help. Dr. Whittaker diagnoses and treats common childhood illnesses and concerns, including ear infections, strep throat, flu, mono, abdominal pain and urinary tract infections — with care focused on getting your child feeling better.
CONTINUED Complex Care
Some health concerns need ongoing attention. Dr. Whittaker provides continuing care for chronic conditions such as asthma, allergies and ADHD, as well as mental and behavioral health concerns. We work with children and families over time to understand their needs and help them thrive.
Dr. Ken Whittaker Pediatrics Welcomes New Patients
Dr. Whittaker and his staff enjoy being a part of your child’s life, watching them grow and reach major milestones in their lives from infancy, through adolescence, and as young adults. It is a pleasure to practice in a small community where our patients are not just seen when they come into the office, but also at community events, including school, sports, camps, recitals, concerts and community festivals. We take pride in being a small part of caring for your child.
Recognized Patient-Centered Primary Care Home
We are recognized by the Oregon Health Authority as a “Patient-Centered Primary Care Home”. The Oregon Health Authority recognizes clinics that have met their standards of care. Their goal is to improve the health and care of all Oregonians. Recognized clinics are required to reapply for recognition every two years. Learn more about what that means at our practice!
Stay Safe and Get Your Shots!
The best way to protect you and your child from current, communicable diseases, is to be vaccinated. To protect yourself against Influenza, get a yearly flu vaccine for yourself and your child —learn more about flu shots here. COVID-19 is spread from person to person, like a cold, through droplets in the air from coughs and sneezes, and is still present in our community. Learn more about getting your child’s COVID-19 vaccination and booster shots here.
