Dear Families,
We are thrilled to share some exciting news about the future of Howard County Pediatrics. We have officially joined the Aspen Pediatrics family!
This partnership with a pediatric ownership group allows us to strengthen what we’ve built over so many years — a trusted, local, community-focused pediatric practice — while gaining the support of a larger organization that shares our values and vision for compassionate, high-quality care. This will allow us to better focus on the clinical care of our patients
What’s most important for you to know:
-
Our name, location, and hours are unchanged. Your appointments, care plans, and records stay right where they are — and there’s nothing you need to do.
-
Your experience will only get better. Over time, you’ll see enhancements in technology, scheduling, and communication as we integrate with Aspen Pediatrics’ systems and support network.
-
For billing purposes, you will begin to see “White Oak Pediatrics” on your explanation of benefits, beginning with visits from 10/17/2025 forward. Our billing team and our billing practices will remain the same.
We’re deeply grateful for your trust, loyalty, and friendship over the years. This change reflects our commitment to ensuring that Howard County Pediatrics remains strong, stable, and here for your family for decades to come.
Thank you for continuing to choose us as your pediatric home. We look forward to caring for your children, together, for many years ahead.
With warm regards,
Dr. Mailander & Dr. McKay
