Casper Children’s Center is the only locally-owned-pediatric practice in Casper, WY that consists of a team led by a board-certified pediatrician AND neonatologist — Dr. Shelley Springer.
Also, Casper Children’s Center is the only private pediatric practice in the State of Wyoming that provides the best medical care to your child(ren) through a Medical Home concept, offers neonatal services from a board-certified neonatologist, and more.
Dr. Shelley Springer received her MD degree from the Medical College of Ohio, Toledo, in 1994. She completed a residency in Pediatrics and a fellowship in Neonatal/Perinatal Medicine at Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, in 2000.
Fully board certified and maintained by the American Board of Pediatrics in both specialties, Dr. Springer practiced as a neonatologist (sick and premature babies) all around the country until forming Casper Children’s Center in 2014.
Dr. Springer is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and works closely with them to develop Clinical Practice Guidelines and promote evidence-based medicine in pediatrics.
Dr. Springer has three children, all delivered while she was a medical student. She has experienced first-hand the challenges of working mothers. She knows the importance of being able to reach your pediatrician when your child is ill and the struggles when family and career obligations collide. She is committed to embracing new knowledge and technology when it makes lives better while holding onto traditional values. A believer in the power of Mother Nature, she does not hesitate to intervene when necessary.
In 1967, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) introduced the concept of a Medical Home a place that represents a home base for your child’s medical care.
Today’s medical home is a cultivated partnership between the patient, family, and pediatrician in cooperation with sub-specialists and support from the community.
The patient/family is the focal point of this model, and the medical home is built around this center. Care under the medical home model must be accessible, family-centered, continuous, comprehensive, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective.
Casper Children’s Center is Casper, Wyoming’s only certified Pediatric Patient Centered Medical Home.
Casper Children’s Center is a locally-owned-pediatric practice in Casper, WY that provides a full spectrum of pediatric care for patients from birth (or before) through 22 years of age (or after under certain circumstances.)
We do not discriminate based on ethnicity, race, sex, family circumstances or other characteristics.
