Mission Statement

Penguin Pediatrics is focused on preventative medicine, providing appropriate anticipatory guidance to parents and families to raise healthy children. The joy of Pediatrics is in watching patients and families grow. We enjoy giving families the reassurance that Dr. Kodu and his team knows their child by name and history when they walk into our office. The ideal pediatrician is not just a child's physician, but evolves into the child's mentor and advocate.

The vision of Penguin Pediatrics is providing one on one care for our patients. Every child and family has unique needs in terms of the physician's time, medical approach, and emotional responsiveness. Establishing Penguin Pediatrics has given Dr. Kodu the flexibility to meet these needs while providing the best medical care.

At Penguin Pediatrics we also understand that childhood illnesses are common and worrisome to parents. It is our goal to offer same day appointments for acutely ill patients so they can be seen in a timely manner. Parents will always have the opportunity to speak to Dr. Kodu and his team directly with their questions and concerns. After hours phone calls are handled by Dr. Kodu himself so that parents have the reassurance of talking to their own physician who is familiar with their child. In short, we strive to be the best pediatrician for every child who is a part of our practice.

As pediatricians we believe that raising a child is a rewarding - as well as a challenging - experience for a parent. Our goal is to help you enjoy this experience and to ensure that your child's full potential is reached. We believe that healthy children are the results of healthy families and communities. Addressing both acute and chronic health conditions and offering a full range of pediatric services for children from newborns to young adults until 21 years of age. Patients receive the team’s full attention during each appointment to identify the root cause of their issues. We can’t wait to meet your family!

To ensure children are in optimal health, the Penguin Pediatrics staff provides numerous preventive health services, including hearing and vision screenings, vaccinations, and annual well-child visits. Also provide comprehensive physical examinations for school compliance and sports participation.
