Our Philosophy

We are here to serve the Lake Oconee community and surrounding areas, including Morgan, Greene, Putnam and Baldwin Counties.  We offer a 24-hour call service, weekend office hours, and even house calls.  It may seem old fashioned, but that's the kind of people we are, and that's the kind of care you should expect.  Our goal is to be there when you need us, and to deliver the most complete, personalized pediatric health care available!

Thanks for your interest in Cowles Clinic Pediatrics.  We look forward to seeing you all very soon.

The Latest from Dr. B: Flu Season

"Flu season is almost upon us.  Typically, we start seeing flu around late September, just after everyone gets settled into school.  So it's a good idea to get your flu vaccine now, as supplies may be limited.  As of the 2008 flu season, flu vaccine is now recommended for ALL children - aged 6 months to 18 years. 

"We offer two types of influenza vaccines.  First, there's the old fashioned flu shot, which any child 6 months or older can get.  Our shot is mercury and thimerisol-free, like all of our vaccines.  Second, we also offer the flu vaccine as a painless nose spray, which can be given to children 2 years and older who have no history of respiratory problems (like asthma).

"The flu vaccine is now available in our office.  Call Jennifer today to protect your family!"
