Primary and specialty medical care designed for children and young adults with developmental disabilities, chronic health conditions, and complex needs.
Some children need more than a standard well-child visit. They need providers who understand how autism, sensory processing differences, behavioral challenges, and medical complexity intersect with routine healthcare. At the Anne Carlsen Specialty Clinic, we offer one-hour appointments in a sensory-friendly environment, providing primary and specialty medical care designed for children and young adults with developmental disabilities, chronic health conditions, and complex needs.
We offer extended visit times, sensory-friendly spaces, and a team trained to work with children who communicate and respond differently.

Our specialty clinic provides continuity of care from diagnosis through transition to adult services. We work independently or collaborate with your patient's existing care team.
