About Us
OKC Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics is a physician-led, family-centered practice dedicated to helping children reach their fullest potential. As a specialized medical subspecialty, developmental and behavioral pediatrics focuses on understanding how children grow, learn, and behave—particularly when challenges arise in areas such as development, behavior, learning, and emotional health.
Founded and led by a board-certified developmental and behavioral pediatrician, the practice provides comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and individualized care for children with a wide range of needs. These may include autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, developmental delays, learning differences, speech and language concerns, and behavioral or emotional challenges. Care is rooted in a whole-child approach that considers medical, developmental, social, and environmental factors influencing each child’s growth.
Drawing from the evidence-based, interdisciplinary model used by leading academic centers such as the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma Children’s Hospital, OKCDBP emphasizes thoughtful assessment and tailored treatment planning. Services are designed to support not just the child, but the entire family—providing clear guidance, education, and coordination with schools, therapists, and other providers to ensure meaningful progress across settings.
As a single-physician practice, OKC Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics offers a uniquely personalized experience. Families benefit from direct access, continuity of care, and a deep understanding of their child’s journey over time. The goal is simple but powerful: to partner with families, reduce uncertainty, and create practical, evidence-based paths forward so every child can thrive at home, in school, and in life.
