Whole-child medicine, with time to actually listen.

Which sounds like your child?
Two doors. One promise: a physician who knows your child by name, not by chart number.
I’M SICK – AND NOT GETTING ANSWERS
We hear you
You’ve been dismissed, rushed, or told “your labs are normal” while you still feel terrible. We take the time conventional medicine can’t.
See how we find answers
I’M WELL – AND I WANT MORE
Optimal Performance
You’re healthy and you intend to stay that way. Measure what matters, optimize what’s possible, and add good years to your life.
See how we optimize
Your instincts brought you here. We take them seriously.
When a child is struggling, parents usually know something is wrong before anyone else does. Our physicians evaluate the whole child — immune, gut, neurological, environmental — in unhurried visits built for real answers.
The healthiest adults start as well-supported kids.
Wellness care that goes deeper than a height-weight check: nutrition, gut and immune foundations, development, and prevention — guided by physicians who know your family.
Build
Nutrition, gut health, and immune foundations tailored to your child
Watch
Development, growth, and labs tracked over time — not in isolated snapshots
Prevent
Catch small imbalances before they become big problems
We hear you
Nobody knows your child like you do.
When a parent says something is wrong, we start from belief — and work until we have answers..
“My child changed almost overnight — and everyone keeps telling me it’s just a phase.”
“We’ve seen specialist after specialist and still don’t have an answer.”
“I want to raise my kids with fewer prescriptions — not more.”
Dedicated Program
PANS & PANDAS: when your child changes overnight.
A sudden onset of OCD, tics, rage, anxiety, or regression after an infection isn’t “just behavioral” — and it isn’t your imagination. Our physicians evaluate and treat PANS/PANDAS with the seriousness it deserves, addressing the underlying immune and infectious triggers.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. Zero runaround.
Book a free discovery call
Tell us your child's story — all of it. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
Get the whole picture
A comprehensive evaluation of your child's health — immune, gut, nutritional, developmental, and environmental.
Follow your child's plan
A personalized path built for your kid and your family — with a physician who knows them by name.
One Clinic. Whole Family.
Where everybody knows your kid's name.
Your child isn’t a fifteen-minute slot to us. They’re the kid who loves dinosaurs, hates broccoli, and lights up when they walk through our door. Care works better when the whole family is known — which is why James Clinic KIDS lives inside the same clinic that cares for you.
Parents and kids, one care team, one story — followed for years, not visits.
K i D S
Little people. Big medicine.
One free, unhurried conversation — your story, your symptoms, and an honest assessment of whether we can help.

I love the James Clinic and everyone there! I have learned so much about how to improve my health and not just how to treat my symptoms. They are so real there. They talk to you. They engage on a personal level and really care about my health and wellness. I feel very in control of my healthcare rather than being controlled by the provider or insurance company. I highly recommend this clinic and its providers!!Posted on Google![]()

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr James and her entire staff. We work primarily with Sara Taylor, NP, and she has been nothing short of amazing. Our whole family, including my two teenage boys, have been with them for over a year now and we are thankful every day that we found them. One of my teenage sons has ASD, on top of numerous health issues and the attention Sara and the team has given to help him has been life changing!Posted on Google![]()

In addition to being incredibly knowledgable, I really appreciate the care Kate takes with her patients. It's very valuable to me that they are functional medicine physicians/NPs at this practice vs those who wear the doctor title without having medical training.Posted on Google![]()

NPs Justina Timms and Sarah Taylor are always incredibly well prepared, knowledgeable and take all the time needed to explain labs and test results to me in ways that I can understand. Their professionalism and expertise continue to astound me. They also check in after procedures or explanations with well documented follow up. In addition, every nurse at the clinic is warm, friendly, personable, knowledgeable and professional to the Nth degree! Theresa, Michelle, Whitney, Lauren, Brenda, Mary and Chelsea all work hard and are extremely timely when completing procedures such as HBOT and MDI treatments. I have nothing but the highest regard for the James Clinic and all who work there including their lead Dr. Mollie James. My gratitude runs deep for their services.
