About Us

Founded in 1998 by Dr. Stacia Kenet and joined by Dr. Lindy Woodard as a partner in 1999, Pediatric Alternatives has grown to be a unique medical practice offering the best of western and integrative medicine.   

Using our combined training in western medicine, homeopathy, herbal medicine, naturopathic medicine and nutrition, we work as a team to find the best therapies for your children. After many years practicing pediatrics, we have observed that children usually heal from common childhood illnesses naturally requiring little medical intervention. We are pleased to say that most of the children in our practice have never been on antibiotics and rarely need prescription medications.    

Our doctors are broad-minded and experienced. Our medical staff consists of four pediatricians (MD). Our doctors are very accessible and have a unique personal connection with each family.

•We encourage and support our moms to breastfeed their infants for two years when possible. Breastfeeding helps children stay healthy during these critical years providing the basis for excellent, lifelong health.

•We offer a naturopathic approach to allergy elimination through good nutrition and gut health.

•Our doctors personally choose all the products we stock in our Wellness Store. Though we offer western medicines when needed, we often prescribe homeopathic remedies, herbs, natural supplements and salves that may be conveniently purchased in the office. We also have a very interesting selection of books and health products to support you and your family. And special foods that provide Food as Medicine.

•Our longer office visits allow time to get to know our patients and individualize their treatments.

•Yearly check-ups at Pediatric Alternatives emphasize nutrition and good eating habits. Since we believe that food is medicine, we encourage our parents to go back to the kitchen to prepare the nourishing foods of our ancestors. Our classes and discussions include practical and healthy nutritional support.

•Homeopathic principles guide our decision-making. We believe that the body intelligently attempts to cure itself through the production of symptoms. We avoid
western medicines that suppress symptoms allowing the body to heal naturally.
