  • Patient’s choice of phone, video, or chat

  • Patients are always treated by a pediatrician, never a nurse
  • Prescriptions sent to the pharmacy of your choice

  • Get to know your doctor, while they get to know you and your family
  • Continuity of care — Blueberry functions as a medical group with dedicated pediatricians
