The Tampa Bay Times recently wrote an article about Complete Wellness Pediatrics, a DPC Pediatrics office in St. Petersburg, FL. Dr. Kelli Cross and Dr. Lyssa Logue talked about and planned their DPC practice for a couple of years and opened their doors in July of this year. They had both been employed at a traditional Pediatric office prior to opening their new office.

Cross, 53, spent 22 years at the previous practice. Logue, 42, worked there 10 years. Both had been looking for a slower-paced office where they could integrate some of the holistic medical approaches they embrace.

“It’s doctors reclaiming medicine,” Cross said.

Complete Wellness Pediatrics serves children from birth through college or age 22, whichever comes first. Both physicians also provide home visits for newborns up to two months old.

I’m excited to go on house calls. It’s so fun because I feel like I am part of the situation,” said Cross, who jokes that she totes a black Coach handbag rather than a traditional doctor bag. “We bring our scales and we come with all the necessary vaccinations.

Dr. Cross and Dr. Logue are both also in the process of becoming lactation consultants in order to better treat breastfeeding mothers and babies.

Congrats to Complete Wellness Pediatrics! Keep us posted on how things are going.
