Pediatrica Health Group Acquires Coconut Creek Pediatrics

Company Expands Access to Evidence-Based Care in Coconut Creek, FL and Supports Growing Community Needs

MIAMI & COCONUT CREEK, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Miami-based Pediatrica Health Group, a multi-site, pediatric primary care organization dedicated to providing equitable access to innovative care for kids, today announced the completed acquisition of Coconut Creek Pediatrics, owned and operated by Dr. Arif Wajid. With this acquisition, Pediatrica expands into South Florida, making significant progress on its commitment to provide comprehensive pediatric primary care to families across the state and beyond.

“…when providers go beyond the basics, we can create long-term positive impacts for generations to come…”

Dr. Wajid and his team have established lasting relationships with the families in their community – the countless positive reviews speak for themselves. More than top-notch support staff and a friendly bedside manner, Dr. Wajid takes a holistic approach to care. He has exceeded standards by offering services such as new parent education and support for patients and parents to address issues that impede school and social development. Plus, he has dedicated time and expertise to advancing healthy outcomes through participation in pediatric-focused clinical research. “Dr. Wajid’s approach to care mirrors Pediatrica’s Next Generation Care^SM model,” notes Pediatrica founder and CEO Roberto Palenzuela, “When providers go beyond the basics, we can create long-term positive impacts for generations to come. Our alignment on this made Coconut Creek Pediatrics an attractive target for acquisition.”

Growing to meet the needs of the community...

Pediatrica is already taking steps to continue building on the foundation of meaningful work Dr. Wajid has established. In addition to a full back-office to support administrative work, the team has also welcomed a new pediatric care provider, Shauvron Langrin, APRN. A parent herself, Shauvron knows first-hand the never-ending worry that comes with the territory. With compassion, she is skilled at putting parents at ease by partnering with these families to support care. Adding more resources and providers to the practice means expanding accessibility to care to the community, including families on Medicaid.
