about us
Welcome to Farrell Pediatrics
Farrell Pediatrics has been caring for children and families throughout Fairfax and Loudoun Counties for over five decades. Located in Reston, our practice provides comprehensive pediatric care from the newborn years through adolescence and young adulthood, with a focus on long-term relationships and continuity of care.
Our doctors and staff welcome families seeking experienced, patient-centered care close to home. That same commitment extends to our sister practice, South Riding Pediatrics, which has served the South Riding and greater Loudoun community for over twenty years.
All providers at Farrell Pediatrics are board-certified pediatricians, and families consistently see a physician at each visit. Our doctors have been repeatedly recognized as Top Doctors and as part of Northern Virginia’s Best Pediatric Practices, reflecting our commitment to thoughtful, evidence-based care and strong relationships with the families we serve.
We are proud to care for families from Fairfax County and nearby communities in an environment where children and parents feel known and supported.
