Sunshine Pediatrics of Florida has been a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH), certified by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. (AAAHC) since 2017. The practice was established as a part-time clinic in 2007 by Dr. Payal Patel and transitioned into a full-time practice when Dr. Saumeel Mehta joined in 2010. Since then, we have expanded to multiple locations across Hillsborough and Pasco counties, serving communities such as Lutz, Land O’ Lakes, Trinity, New Port Richey, Spring Hill, Carrollwood, Temple Terrace, Tampa, Wesley Chapel, San Antonio, Dade City, Riverview, Westchase, Odessa, and surrounding areas. We accept all major private and Medicaid insurances.
Over the years, our team has grown to offer comprehensive pediatric services, delivered by empathetic and compassionate providers and staff who are committed to delivering up-to-date, family-centered medical care with dignity and respect. Through the PCMH model, we have built strong, lasting relationships with our patients and families by listening to their feedback and implementing improvements that reflect their needs.
As a result of this mutual trust, we have introduced extended weekday and weekend office hours, opened appointment calendars for self-scheduling at patients’ convenience, implemented symptom tracking tools to help reduce unnecessary ER and urgent care visits, offered parent education sessions, and actively contribute to our community through initiatives such as annual scholarship programs.
We are humbled by the trust our patients and families place in us and remain committed to continually improving our care and services.
