Pediatric Ear Piercing

A safe, sterile ear-piercing service performed by our clinical team — a gentler alternative to mall kiosks, done right in your child's medical home.

Pediatric Ear Piercing
Overview

Medical-grade safety, done by people your child already trusts

Many parents are surprised to learn we offer ear piercing — but it's a natural extension of pediatric care. Using sterile, single-use equipment and hypoallergenic surgical-steel studs, our clinical staff perform piercings far more safely than a mall kiosk or piercing gun.

Because it's done by a provider who already knows your child, the experience tends to be calmer, and you leave with clear aftercare instructions from a medical team you can call with any concerns.

Quick, clean, and the aftercare instructions were much clearer than what we got years ago at a kiosk.
