Mackinaw Trail Pediatrics is committed to providing comprehensive, compassionate and personalized health care to the children of Northern Michigan.

Out practice encompasses routine and specialty children's care from birth through adolescence.  We offer comprehensive care for acute and chronic illness, as well as routine screening exams emphasizing normal childhood growth, development and immunizations.

We provide hospital care and consultation for newborns and sick children.

Childhood immunizations are provided as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.  We participate in the Michigan Vaccine for Children Program.

Our staff works closely with local health departments, early childhood intervention programs, as well as the Intermediate School District in providing a team based approach to children with special health care needs. We collaborate with local and regional children's sub specialists to provide continuity of care to children requiring subspecialty referral.

We also offer to parents a free "get acquainted" visit in our office prior to your baby's birth.

We participate with most insurances including Blue Cross, Preferred Choices, Priority Health, PPOM, TriCare, Medicaid, MI Child and Children's Special Health Care Services.  We accept Mastercard and Visa.  Please contact your insurance company if you are not sure if your insurance covers your office visit or procedure.  We will be happy to help you work through any billing problems. 

Payment of co-pays and deductibles is expected at the time of service.
