About Us
Located on Byron Rd in Howell
Joyful Pediatrics is a pediatrics office located in Howell, MI. Our office opened its doors in July of 2018, but founder Dr. April Joy Ping is a Howell native who has been serving the community as a pediatrician for the past 22 years. She is excited to open this private practice in her hometown!
We are pleased to be recognized as a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH).
A PCMH is a model of delivering the highest quality of health care where your primary care provider (PCP) plays the important role of helping patients reach their personal health goals through effective care management with families and other members of the health care team. This includes active communication with specialists and ensures safe transitions of care. We understand that each of our patients has their own unique needs and as a PCMH, we are committed to getting the patient, their family, and any specialists working together for the mutual benefit of the patient.
As a new patient, we will have you sign an agreement that outlines what we, as your PCP, promise to do and our expectations for you as an active participant in your child’s health care. We will review this agreement on an annual basis to ensure continued understanding.
