Welcome to Western Wake Pediatrics!
Since 1984, we’ve had the privilege of caring for growing families—now welcoming our third generation of patients!
At Western Wake Pediatrics, we believe in more than just medical care—we build lasting partnerships with families to support the social, emotional, and physical well-being of every child.
It’s an honor to be part of your family’s journey. We look forward to caring for your little ones and watching them thrive!
I've had nothing but a wonderful experience with this practice so far. I'm quite pleased we have made the switch from our old pediatricians! From the front desk staff to the nurses, doctors and immunization director, everyone is professional, friendly and super loving to my children. Thank you for making a Mommy feel safe and secure in good hands.

22 years, that is how long I have been taking my children to this wonderful practice. One has aged out and the other will soon. Dr. Michael Smith has been their primary pediatrician. What a phenomenal doctor! Dr. Smith and staff gave excellent care to my two children, both with their share of issues ranging from ear infections and asthma to ADHD. Dr. Smith, you will be missed! Thank you for everything. Enjoy your retirement, you earned it!

I am super impressed with how Western Wake Pediatrics is handling their patients during this pandemic! People wait in their cars and questions are asked and temperatures taken before we are even allowed in the door. Only limited patients in the building at a time. Sick visits and well visits are at different times of day.

The doctors and nurses always take the time to talk with me and the kids. We’ve always felt taken care of here (been going here for 7 years with 3 kids).
LA - November, 2020
We've been talking our kids to western wake peds in Cary NC for the past 18 years and have never gone to a different pediatrician. They are very good at what they do. The doctors are very knowledgeable in all aspects of health for children and have given us good information over the years. They have been very reliable and they show great care for us as individuals. We have requested Dr. Ferrall every year for our son's (18) check ups. Dr. Ferrall is very caring. He has even called us at home to discuss any problems our kids have had over the years. I highly recommend them.
AR - November, 2020
Helpful and kind. They listen to what is going on and find what is best for the child.

Excellent practice overall and they’re currently offering really good telemedicine!
CL - December, 2020
We arrived at WWP about 6 years ago after an awful experience with another practice that refused to listen to us when dealing with our infant who was not gaining weight appropriately. Dr. Sara Tabrizi was amazing! She recently left the practice, but honestly we’ve never had a bad experience with the md’s that we’ve seen at WWP! They are pro-nursing and listen to the parents while focusing on what’s best for the children. We saw Dr. Hannon yesterday for my daughters 15 year physical. We knew in advance that masks were required and that no one other than the patient and 1 parent would be allowed to attend the appointment. We didn’t realize until we arrived that we would be given info to be updated in our car. Dr. Hannon was very thorough and focused and even referred us to X-ray for a condition previously noted but never xrayed. We continue to be pleased with the practice and staff.
VD - December, 2020
We have been going to Western Wake Peds since my first daughter was born in 2016. We love Dr. Lopez. He has a great manner with both patients and parents. We have also had good experiences with other doctors there. It's a small office, which is nice. ❤️
HC - January, 2021
The time, attention, and kind, personalized care have kept us coming to Western Wake Pediatrics for 14 years. The practitioners have really gotten to know and connect with our children, which makes visiting the pediatrician a positive experience each time. We trust them and are grateful for the knowledge and guidance they provide.
KE - February, 2021

Me encanta este lugar sobre todo la atención que los doctores le dan a los niños por 10 años mis niñas an sido y siguen siendo pacientes de Dr López y Jennifer Hoffman muy buen lugar lo recomiendo al 100%
EL - February, 2021
I was looking for personalized care for my kiddos after my previous child’s pediatrician retired. I found such wonderful staff at Western Wake. Definitely would highly recommend to parents who are looking for caring, knowledgeable medical care. I trust them, and even my kiddos felt comfortable and cared for! We saw Jen Hauffman and Elicia, who were a phenomenal team and made our visit to the office so comfortable. The front office staff let us in early even though the office was closed for lunch so we wouldn’t have to wait in the rain. Literally everyone was so welcoming! This is the kind of place you hope for when your kid’s need medical care.
AM - February, 2021
We had our first visit for our boys with Dr Lopez and we’re so happy! He was patient and knowledgeable. We left feeling more confident in the care of our kids. The nursing and front desk staff were also kind and professional. I’m so happy we made the switch!
ET - February, 2021
My kids have been patients here for over 2 years now and we STILL love this practice! We see Dr Austin regularly, but when we've been to see the other docs, they have been just as thorough, warm, and helpful. The docs in this practice also rounded on us when I had my daughter at Wake Med Cary, and we got to meet each one. We were so impressed with each doctor we met. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they have navigated the pandemic extremely well. They have returned calls in a timely manner and been so supportive. We won't go anywhere else!!
SB - March, 2021
We have been going here for the past 5 years with all three of my children. They are friendly. The facility is clean. They really listen and care. You feel like an individual person here and not just a patient. I love that they make my children feel welcome and comfortable. They also have an amazing breast consultant who help me through two children with breastfeeding. It was tough for me but having her guidance and support really helped. My children has also love her.
VS - March, 2021
I have been taking my children to this practice for the past 13 years. Wonderful staff, excellent healthcare providers that listen to my concerns and I will continue to use them for foreseeable future. Highly recommend this practice.

Hola! Tengo unos meses de haberme mudado a NC. Recientemente nació mi hija y del hospital me recomendaron esta clínica. Me he llevado una impresión grande con la amabilidad del personal y especialmente con la Dra.Jennifer Hoffman que hace más que pediatra , trata con un cuidado especial a mi bebé . Eso me da mucha confianza . Gracias a todos los que trabajan en Western Wake Pediatrics PA para la comunidad y gracias Dra. Jennifer por atender con amor a todos nuestros bebes y niños.
TV - March, 2021
I have been coming to this office for 12 years with my kiddos and I was so sad when Dr Tabrizi left, I like everybody at the office but she was their main doctor and I was worried nobody would measure up to how wonderful she was. We now see Jen Farrow and she is amazing. The office staff and all the doctors are great. I recommend this office to everybody.
BR - March, 2021
The whole staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I love that they have a Lactation Consultant on staff too. It makes it a lot easier to navigate the early days of nursing. Highly recommend!
SH - March, 2021
Both of my kids have been patients here for over 6 years. Sick appt for my son today & we were checked in via phone prior to appointment, drove up and answered questions with the doctor via telehealth while in the car. The doctor then came out to the car to check my son over and swab his nose. I can definitely attest to that they have been flexible in light of the ongoing pandemic and that Dr. Austin has maintained her sense of humor and bedside manner even in this difficult time. The staff is always great and their nurses are amazing, even with this mom’s (sometimes crazy) questions.
VMD - April, 2021
I’ve been being my family here for 20 years. Best group of health care providers around.
MC - April, 2021
Because of a wide range in my kids, we have been coming here since they opened over 30 years ago! That first child now brings HER kids here, too! Our latest visit was with Dr. Lopez. Dr. Lopez is just amazing! He has always been so good- from the time my kids were infants to now as teenagers. He relates to them on their level and always takes time to really listen.
SM - April, 2021
Dr. Elkins is sweet and compassionate, he understood my child’s complicated needs, and explained everything clearly, also, carried out and excellent treatment plan. I’m a pleased with the services they provided.

Jenn Farrow is such a wonderful provider. I have taken both of my daughters who are five and 12 now since 2019. I wait to schedule and see her because we love her so much. She is always available to talk and lend an ear, and She truly cares about the health and well-being of her patients. I highly recommend this practice, especially Jenn Farrow!!!!
NY - July, 2021
The best pediatricians in our area. Both of my children have been going here since they were born; they are 14 and 11. Over the years I have not seen many doctors leave this practice or new staff. Western Wake Pediatricians are an amazing group of team members that care about your child's needs and have kind hearts for all families. Thank you 😊 for being so amazing for our community.

AC - August, 2021
Western Wake Pediatrics is amazing. The lactation consultant, Bonny, has been an incredible resource and support during the first month of our baby’s life. She is so calming and incredible to talk to, and do encouraging. Dr. Hannon is also fantastic. She has been wonderful- again very encouraging and supportive. The entire staff is also very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend!
CB - August, 2021

Excelentes doctores muy contenta por la amabilidad de todo el personal
JL - October, 2021
Literally the best staff of any doctors office I’ve ever been to. Everyone has been amazing in the 13 years I’ve went here. I’ve seen most of the doctors and they are all great. I can’t say enough great things about every single person at this office. Dr Lopez has been my primary doctor for all of the time I have went here, and I don’t even know where to start explaining not only how great of a doctor he is, but one of the most genuine people I have ever met. He connects with his patients like no other doctor I have seen. He not only treats patients externally, but goes above and beyond to connect with each and every one of his patients, and makes you feel like you are in great, trustworthy hands. Everyone here is beyond amazing and I couldn’t ask for a better healthcare experience anywhere.
SP - October, 2021
We have been using Western Wake since the day my son was born and we have had GREAT care! I always recommend them. Thanks for having a wonderful practice and docs/nurses.
KJ - November, 2021
Dr. Lopez really takes time to listen and examine my children. I am very pleased to have him as the pediatrician of my kids. My children are happy to have him as their doctor.

Warm and friendly atmosphere. Nurses welcome me as I entered the clinic and I was treated in a timely manner..
HJ - July, 2022
Dr Farrow & Dr Lopez are fantastic! They love and care for our kids as if they are their own. I can recommend this practice enough. They treat patients in often and try to avoid sending kids to the ER whenever possible.
CD - July, 2022
We just recently left our pediatrician because they weren't very friendly or informative. I'm so impressed with this place so far. They were very helpful and she took the time to explain everything to me
MS - July, 2022
Overall, I like this place. When my kid was a newborn and I was a new mom, Bonny was an amazing lactation consultant. Bonny is supportive, offers creative solutions, and was non-judgmental. Dr. Austin is awesome. She's great with my kid, took time to answer all my questions, and helped with getting FMLA paperwork for my job. Dr. Ferrall is very proactive. He's also very informative and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. My problem is this (and it's a problem with all doctors in general): My appointment is at 0930. 0915 I'm checked in- 15 minutes early, as requested. 1015 the provider arrives. 1030 I'm in the car and my kid is loaded up. I just wish that these offices spaced out their appointments so that they can be on-time. I get it, staffing is tight, patient care is unpredictable, but maybe don't schedule in 15 minute increments when it takes at least 30 minutes to do the job. It's unrealistic to schedule 4 patients in an hour. Just my two cents.
RWL - August, 2022
I have been very happy with the care my daughter has received at Western Wake Pediatrics! They are all very nice, reassuring and work with us as a team with us. It's all a parent wants especially first time parents. Also love they have lectionary specialist who has been very supportive in this journey.
EH - August, 2022
Love this pediatric office! They are attentive and great with my kids! We see Dr. Hoffman but seen a few other doctors too and they are all incredible!! The only small negative is that the appointments usually can take really long! The nurse will see you first, then usually a bit of wait for the doctor in the room, then another long wait (about 20-30mins) for the nurse to come back for the vaccines before you leave. This has happened a few times for our wellness visits. The other side of that, the big positive which I love, they do take good enough time with you to talk and answer questions so understand why that maybe happens, just would be nice to to have to long waits between each person when you have two small kids with you. Other than that highly recommend. They are a fantastic team and feel very cared for there.
ZJ - August, 2022

WA - August, 2022
All the practitioners here have been helpful and thorough. Recently my son saw Dr. Younes, and we appreciated her help and quick actions to rule out any serious concerns.
CK - October, 2022
The best doctors are here. Our family loves western wake pediatrics. My kids are patients here for more than 6 years. Great staff, the best doctors!
IT - November, 2022
We have been with this practice for over 8 years now. Both my kids have been seen by various doctors and we like them. We especially love Cheryl D., one of the oldest staff nurse who brings a cheer on my kids faces even after a vaccine shot! The nurses are kind and empathetic. Toma is excellent at what she does drawing blood, quick and efficient! We appreciate what you all do!
The only thing in my ideal world that could have been better is less expensive and easily available after hours care. However the positive is that they have the option of after hours care.

PD - December, 2022
Our kids have been going here for 13 years and a review is well overdue. Dr Ferrall, NP Jen Hoffman, Dr Shelton (Retired), Dr Lopez-Linus, and Dr Bruce have all given unsurpassed levels of care to our children. The appointments are timely, effective use of our time. The referrals are quick, with minimum-to-no administrative delays. These providers have all been thorough, caring, and trustworthy when treating our children. We would highly recommend this clinic for any family in search of a complete pediatric care location in the Cary/HS/FV area. Thank you to all the support staff and providers!
KE - November, 2022
Every nurse and doctor has been wonderful. We’ve been going here for years and highly recommend the practice.
SH - December, 2022
I have taken my one month old baby 2 times in the same week. She was seen by Dr. Jennifer Hoffman and Dr. Alexandra Tarasidis. Both were amazing! Not only did they respond kindly and patiently to my questions, but they also carefully examined my baby with love. I am grateful to have found them.
KG - December, 2022
They are the best, excellent conditions and care, greetings to Dr. Zahra Younes
DM - December, 2022
Dr TARASIDIS, came to visit our newborn at Wakemed was the beginning of a great relationship with everyone at Western wake pediatrics.She is very thorough, caring and is truly concerned for her patients well-being. She is calm, clear, friendly with my newborn and never makes us feel rushed. Throughout the entire visit, she consistently asks if there are any questions and if there are, she gives detailed replies.I can't say enough.We love her! We are so lucky to have her as our pediatrician.Lactation Consultant BONNY is excellent! She helped me tremendously on my breastfeeding journey,changed my breast-feeding life! She couldn’t of been sweeter and more gentle while showing me such simple effective techniques. We are so appreciative and highly recommend a consultation with Bonny!She was very helpful and motivating. Thank you!! Warm hugs from me and my baby.Every doctor and all staff are kind, caring and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!!

TJ - March, 2023
Dr. Bruce always goes above and beyond for our family! Western Wake Pediatrics is an amazing practice! We have been patients of Western Wake Peds for 7 years and counting. They are so accommodating to my twins who both have Autism and make them feel incredibly comfortable during their appointments. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.
RL - March, 2023
Absolutely LOVE Western Wake Peds!!! They are by far one of the best practices that I have taken my kids to. The drs sit and listen to your concerns and help you in every way possible. All the drs there are amazing.
RW - May, 2023
We've been at Western Wake Pediatrics since our son was born in 2008. We've always experienced excellent care with both kids. Dr. Lopez is amazing -- but we've never had a poor experience, no matter the provider. As our daughter has gotten older, she's more comfortable with female caregivers, and we had an excellent with nurse practitioner Jennifer Hoffman just this week. Facing a double whammy, swimmer's ear and unrelated GI bug, our daughter was feeling pretty crummy. Despite that, Jennifer made her feel so comfortable during the appointment, talking at her level and addressing concerns from her point of view throughout. The extra effort didn't go unnoticed by us, especially the patient, who raved about it when we got to the car. (Yes, kids notice these things!) Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference.
DB - June, 2023
Dr. Lopez is the absolute best pediatrician I have ever seen…by far! Both my kids love him! He makes it so comfortable, fun, and funny, yes fun! My kids ask to go back when we leave. Truly the best!
SJ - July, 2023
Bonnie, their IBCLC, is an angel. She is such an asset to the practice. Every doctor and nurse we've met here is also amazing.
SG – August 2023
I cannot say enough amazing things about this practice. We switched from another practice when my daughter was one - we were VERY displeased with the other one and Western Wake was recommended highly. Jen is, in a word, AMAZING. She makes my daughter so comfortable and makes the whole process fun and not scary. The nursing staff is kind and attentive and we rarely have more than a 5-minute wait. Just a phenomenal place to take your kids!
MT – October 2023
We have had great experiences here. We were able to quickly get our newborn appointments set up and the staff is great. The lactation consultant was also extremely helpful and helped to put our minds at ease. Our baby boy is now 9 months and we have seen multiple providers and find them all outstanding!
AW- October 2023
We have been patients at Western Wake Pediatrics for over 11 years and we’ve had great experiences with all of the providers here. They are professional and respectful, and genuinely care about our children. Making appointments is quick and easy, and they usually have same day sick visit availability. My kids are happy to go in even when they are feeling bad because they know the doctors will help them feel better! Dr. Stewart is an amazing addition to their provider staff. She was great with our kids and made the exam process easy. She was thorough, communicated our treatment plan clearly, and gave us plenty of time to ask questions. We are very excited to have another fantastic doctor there! We also recently saw Patty for ear piercing for my daughter. She was so helpful in explaining how to care for the piercings and actively involved her in the decision making process, which we really appreciated. The nursing staff is wonderful as well, they are so kind and caring, and always go the extra mile to connect with the kids and make them feel comfortable. We are grateful to everyone at this practice for their consistently exceptional care.
ES- December 2023
We love Western Wake! My husband came here when he was a child, and now we bring our son there. Everyone is so friendly, and Jennifer is such a calming presence and answers all of our many questions as new-time parents.
CC – January 2024
Our children have been at this practice for years. All of the providers have been excellent. They ask the children questions, develop clear and reasonable treatment plans, and refer when warranted.
CW- March 2024
My child and I had a great experience with Western Wake Pediatrics. The center is very clean and organized. Examinations and processes are timely and clear. The staff we interacted with were very kind and friendly, especially Dr. Tarasidis.
The only drawback refraining me from a 5-star is the slow registration process of new patients. [Western Wake Pediatrics took this feedback to heart. We streamlined the entire new patient process and removed all the hurdles that made establishing as a patient here challenging.]

Dr. Lopez is THE Best! Wehave been coming to this practice since 2014 and it has been awesome, every single time. He takes his time to listen and is not only a good doctor, but also a good guide for kids. He is really good with kids!! High recommended!
SB - August 2024
Pediatrician that care, Every body is amazing, very human
NH- August 2024
I cannot thank Western Wake enough. For the past four weeks we have been struggling to find a pediatrician office for our newborn daughter. We began at a larger local chain but transferred care to Western Wake. I cannot speak highly enough of Savannah, their lactation consultant. She thoroughly addressed our concerns. The environment could not be more supportive. She did a weighted feed, a service we had not received at other pediatrics offices. I so badly wish we had been seeing her from the beginning! We met Dr Tarasidis. She took her time to address our questions (even those from obvious rookie parents!) We are so happy with the care we have received! Highly recommend Western Wake especially for newborn care!!
K – September 2024
Ms Barbara has seen daughter since before she was walking. A warm atmosphere everytime we visit. Thank you for the care given to our family
LM – September, 2024
It took us two years and moving around to different pediatric practices to find a group of both practitioners and staff that we love. They are warm, invested in their patients, trustworthy, knowledgeable, professional. They run on time and the facility is clean and nice. I would highly recommend this practice.
MDG - March, 2026
My son had a recent visit that involved a sensitive situation regarding rights. The pediatrician and staff handled everything with professionalism, calm, and care for my child.
Despite some initial confusion, the team took the time to listen, ensure everyone’s rights and roles were respected, and ultimately kept the focus where it belonged — on my child’s health and well-being.
I appreciated the thoughtful communication and measured approach during a stressful moment. It reinforced my confidence in this practice and the care they provide.

All the providers and staff are wonderful caring people. My kids have been going here since they were born, so 9 years. All 3 kids love coming here.

It took us two years and moving around to different pediatric practices to find a group of both practitioners and staff that we love. They are warm, invested in their patients, trustworthy, knowledgeable, professional. They run on time and the facility is clean and nice. I would highly recommend this practice.

My son had a recent visit that involved a sensitive situation regarding rights. The pediatrician and staff handled everything with professionalism, calm, and care for my child.Despite some initial confusion, the team took the time to listen, ensure everyone’s rights and roles were respected, and ultimately kept the focus where it belonged — on my child’s health and well-being.I appreciated the thoughtful communication and measured approach during a stressful moment. It reinforced my confidence in this practice and the care they provide.

We love Western Wake for our daughter’s primary care! All of the providers have been wonderful and Savannah, our lactation consultant, has been one of the most important team members to us as we became new parents and navigated our breast-feeding journey. She is always a compassionate listener, knowledgeable about the latest research regarding breast-feeding and newborn feeding in general, and we have loved to see her at each visit over the course of our baby’s first year. Talking to Savannah and learning from her extensive knowledge has allowed us to be confident and competent new parents. All of the providers at Western Wake pediatrics are amazing, but Savannah truly is one of the biggest reasons that we continue to use Western Wake for our child’s primary provider and will plan to with our future children down the road. Would highly recommend coming to Western Wake- especially if you are a new parent interested in breastfeeding!

We have been patients at Western Wake Pediatrics for over 11 years and we’ve had great experiences with all of the providers here. They are professional and respectful, and genuinely care about our children. Making appointments is quick and easy, and they usually have same day sick visit availability. My kids are happy to go in even when they are feeling bad because they know the doctors will help them feel better! Dr. Stewart is an amazing addition to their provider staff. She was great with our kids and made the exam process easy. She was thorough, communicated our treatment plan clearly, and gave us plenty of time to ask questions. We are very excited to have another fantastic doctor there! We also recently saw Patty for ear piercing for my daughter. She was so helpful in explaining how to care for the piercings and actively involved her in the decision making process, which we really appreciated. The nursing staff is wonderful as well, they are so kind and caring, and always go the extra mile to connect with the kids and make them feel comfortable. We are grateful to everyone at this practice for their consistently exceptional care.

All 7 of our children are patients here and I can’t say enough wonderful things about all of the doctors and staff. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for caring, kind, and transparent quality pediatric care.

Carmela was our nurse and she was attentive, supportive as well as funny. Dr. Hannon is great as usual. It was a refreshing doctor visit.

Providers and staff are professional and caring. Savannah, their lactation consultant, has been the main reson why this place stands out. She is very knowledgeable, compassionate, and listens to every concern trying to provide suggestions and advice. She has made our feeding journey much easier and our visits much more personal.

I've taken our twins (now 13) here since they were newborns. We've come for every annual physical, every fever, sickness, pain, shot, vaccine you name it for 13 yrs now and every time we walk out happier patients (and parents). The doctors, nurses and front desk have always been terrific. Western Wake Peds is well run, professional, and capable. I'd refer anyone here with confidence.

My granddaughters (Aria and Ryleigh Cameron)have been going here for a few years now maybe a little longer and my experience and theirs have been nothing but amazing, the staff absolutely show the TLC and my granddaughters love attention and they get it!! 🤣 Especially when they get to pick out stickers. Thank you all for making our visits an awesome positive experience...see you soon!
