For more than 50 years, Old Harding Pediatric Associates (OHPA) has been a trusted name in pediatric care for families in Middle Tennessee. With offices in Bellevue and West Meade, OHPA combines a legacy of compassionate service with modern, evidence-based medicine to meet the needs of today’s parents and children.
At OHPA, your child’s health and well-being come first. The practice serves children from birth through young adulthood, offering a full range of services — from well-child checkups, immunizations and developmental screenings to urgent sick visits and chronic condition management. Their team of 10 board-certified pediatricians and dedicated nurse practitioners ensures families have access to expert care at every stage of a child’s growth.
Quality is at the heart of everything they do. OHPA participates in national quality improvement initia- tives and consistently meets or exceeds benchmarks for pediatric care. The practice is recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home, meaning care is coordinated, comprehensive and focused on the whole child, not just the illness at hand.
Convenience matters to busy families, and OHPA makes access easy. With extended hours, same-day sick appointments, an after-hours nurse advice line, and online scheduling through a secure patient portal, parents can quickly get the guidance and care they need — when they need it.
The team also works closely with local hospitals, including Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, ensuring that if a child needs advanced care or hospitalization, continuity and coordination remain priorities.
Beyond clinical expertise, what sets OHPA apart is its unwavering commitment to supporting families through all aspects of parenting. Their providers take time to listen, educate and partner with parents — whether answering questions about newborn feeding or helping a teen navigate emotional well-being.
It’s no wonder Old Harding Pediatric Associates is a 22-year winner of the Nashville Parent Best of Parenting award, as voted by local families. Generations of parents have trusted OHPA for exceptional pediatric care — and they’re ready to welcome yours.
