Coming to Fargo, ND January 2026
Welcome to Dakota pediatric Associates
Dakota Pediatric Associates is a locally owned pediatric clinic in Fargo, North Dakota, providing complete medical care for children from birth through young adulthood. Our practice brings together general pediatrics and pediatric gastroenterology (GI) in one convenient, family-friendly setting — allowing families to receive both primary care and specialty care under the same roof.
We care for everything from routine checkups, newborn and well-child visits, and vaccinations to more complex digestive issues such as reflux, constipation, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative colitis), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and abdominal pain.
At Dakota Pediatric Associates, our mission is to make high-quality, personalized care accessible to every family. We focus on building long-term relationships, communicating clearly, and creating a comfortable environment where children feel at ease and parents feel confident in their care.
We’re proud to offer the expertise of both general pediatricians and a pediatric gastroenterologist — all dedicated to helping kids feel better, grow stronger, and stay healthy at every stage.
