✳Room for every question✳Care through every stage✳A familiar team
From first days to first job
Every stage, one familiar team.
Kids change fast. Your pediatrician shouldn't. Here is roughly what we focus on as your child grows.
Newborn · 0–12 mo
The sleepy season
Feeding, weight checks, jaundice, sleep, and lots of "is this normal?" (Usually, yes.)
Toddler · 1–4 yrs
Into everything
First words and steps, picky eating, tantrums, potty training, and the daycare germ parade.
School-age · 5–11 yrs
Big-kid business
School and sports forms, vision and hearing, focus and friendships, and staying active.
Teen · 12–21 yrs
Their own person
Private time with the doctor, mood and sleep, sports physicals, and a gentle hand-off to adult care.
Made for your everyday
A little reassurance goes a long way.
Start with what brings you here. We will work out the next steps together.

Meet your pediatrician
Hi, I'm Dr. Maya Bennett.
I became a pediatrician because kids tell the truth, parents ask the best questions, and nothing beats watching a nervous three-year-old decide the stethoscope is actually pretty cool.
Before opening Pip I spent seven years at a children's hospital, which taught me two things: most worries turn out fine, and the ones that don't deserve a doctor who already knows your family. Visits here are unhurried on purpose.

Book a free meet-and-greet For new parents
The questions everyone asks. Good ones, too.
Nobody hands you a manual. Here are the things new families ask us most, answered plainly.
Still wondering? Ask us directly ↗When should my newborn have their first visit?+
Within 3 to 5 days of birth, or 1 to 2 days after leaving the hospital. We check weight, feeding, and jaundice, and we save plenty of time for your questions. Call us as soon as the baby arrives; newborn slots are held every day.
Can we meet you before the baby is born?+
Yes, and we recommend it. Prenatal meet-and-greets are free, take about 20 minutes, and are a good time to talk through feeding plans, vaccines, circumcision, and what the first weeks look like.
Which insurance plans do you accept?+
We are in network with most major plans, including Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid), Providence, Kaiser, Regence BlueCross, Aetna, and Cigna. Well visits and vaccines are covered at no cost under nearly all plans. Self-pay pricing is available if you are between coverage.
Do sick kids and well kids share a waiting room?+
No. Sick visits are seen in a separate wing with its own entrance and waiting area, and rooms are cleaned between every patient.
What if my child gets sick after hours?+
Call the main number any time. Evenings and weekends, a pediatric nurse answers, can reach the on-call doctor, and will help you decide whether it can wait until morning. For emergencies, always call 911 first.
Do you accept families who spread out or delay vaccines?+
We follow the AAP schedule because it is the best-studied way to protect kids, and we are always happy to talk through your questions without judgment. We will work with you on a catch-up plan; we do ask that all our patients are on a path to being fully vaccinated.
