Who We Are
Kids on the Common Pediatrics is a practice led by Dr. Rugo Focht, a pediatrician with over 30 years of experience. It has been designed with the input of a Parent Council to meet the needs of children and their families. The practice is built on a model of holistic care where a child's physical, developmental, emotional, and spiritual needs are considered while providing education, support, and parental advice.
