Our Story

A Practice Built on
Family & Trust

Kids Healthcare was founded in 2002 by Dr. Christopher Tallo with a clear mission: to provide expert, compassionate, and prompt general pediatric services to families across Northeast Indiana.

What started as a single physician's vision has grown into a team of four dedicated providers, each chosen for their expertise and their genuine love of caring for children. We see patients from birth through young adulthood — because great pediatric care is a relationship, not just a visit.

Our office is a place where kids feel safe, parents feel heard, and everyone leaves with the answers they need.

What We Stand For

Our Mission & Values

Everything we do is guided by a simple belief: every child deserves the best possible start in life.

Expert Care

Our providers bring decades of combined pediatric experience and stay current with the latest evidence-based medicine — so your child always gets care grounded in science.

Genuine Compassion

We listen. We explain. We take the time to understand each family's unique situation — because being a great doctor means being a great human being first.

Prevention First

From well-child check-ups to immunizations and education, we focus on keeping children healthy before illness strikes — not just treating them after.

Welcoming Everyone

We proudly serve families from all backgrounds. Walk-ins are welcome, appointments are easy to book, and we offer phone and text communication for your convenience.

Our Team

The Faces Behind the Care
