Hey mama! As a Tampa newborn photographer, I spend my life talking to many families and healthcare is always a topic especially since they’ve just had a baby. We want the absolute best for our babies, but the traditional medical system can feel cold and rushed. That is why I want to share Happy Soul Pediatrics with you! This local gem that has been recommended to me over and over and if you are anything like me, your days are a beautiful blur of chasing toddlers, managing schedules, and trying to soak up all the fleeting moments before they are gone. We are always looking for the best care for our babies, and this is it!

Behind the Practice
When I first heard about their “Direct Primary Care” model, I wasn’t sure what to expect. After hearing more and more moms talk about Happy Soul Pediatrics, I realize that soul care is their standard of living. Founded by the duo Dr. Kay and Kevin Hartzog, this practice is the opposite of a well-oiled conveyor belt method to medicine we have all grown to loathe. Instead of 40 minutes in a room waiting only to see the Dr. for 5 minutes and they don’t know anything personal about you. Happy Soul Pediatrics breaks that cycle!
A Sanctuary for Your Family
One of the first things you’ll notice about Happy Soul Pediatrics is the vibe when you walk in. They operate on a membership basis, so they are not trying to cram their schedules with a minimum number of patients each day. When you walk in, you are priority. There is no waiting room limbo and as a mom, that is a lifesaver! We have all been there trying to wrangle our cranking toddler who has a fever.
Building a Relationship with Your Family
The benefits go beyond saving time. The real magic of Happy Soul Pediatrics is in the relationship. Dr. Kay and Kevin take the time to get to know your family. They want to hear about all the big milestones, the quirks, and favorite foods. This deep level of connection allows them to consider the root cause of issues, instead of handing you a prescription for a symptom. They look at the big picture through nutrition, sleep, environment, and emotional health.
Why the Membership Model is different
I know the word membership seems scary. You’re probably wondering what it means and if it’s worth it. Mama, let me tell you, the peace of mind is priceless. With Happy Soul Pediatrics, you have direct access to your providers. If you have questions at 7pm on a random Saturday, you can text them! These doctors are there for you and provide peace. All pricing is upfront, no hidden fees, and no insurance middleman that is telling you how much it should cost. It’s healthcare the way it was meant to be: honest.
Adult Wellness Checks
While their practice name says pediatrics, Happy Soul Pediatrics offers care for the whole family. The believe that healthcare starts with a healthy, supported parent. Whether you’re looking for newborn house calls, or adult wellness checks, you’re covered.
I hope you’ll look into Happy Soul Pediatrics for your family!
At the end of the day, mama, healthcare is the foundation of a happy, healthy life. When our kids feel good and we feel supported, we can show up as our best. Choosing Happy Soul Pediatrics is about choosing providers that feel more like family and care for them.
