Kids on the Common Pediatrics
An uncommon approach to caring for children and the families who love them

Welcome!
We are pleased to present an online resource for the parents of our wonderful patients!
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.
