We are open!
During this unprecedented national emergency, we are
doing our part to prevent and slow the spread of the virus while
ensuring patients get the care they need.
- We are following CDC and American Academy of Pediatric guidelines
to make Well Child visits a priority. We are now scheduling Well Child
visits for all ages.
- We can see your child for most non-urgent issues using a virtual visit. Please call for details and instructions!
- Your safety is a priority to us. We are sanitizing often, requiring
masks for all patients and staff, and we are not seeing ill patients in
the office.
We appreciate your patience while we navigate through the Covid-19 pandemic.
These recommendations may change week to week, please call or check the website often.
Please remember to wash your hands, cover coughs and
sneezes, and practice social distancing. Together we can “Flatten the
Curve!”
We are a general pediatric practice, composed of West
Phoenix Pediatrics (Celida Rangel, MD) and Lisa Hunt MD, PLC. We are two
separate practices operating in one office space with a shared staff.
Our mission is to provide compassionate care for children birth through 18 years of age.

It's never fun to have fever or pain.
If your newborn is less than two months old and has a rectal temperature over 100.4 you MUST take your child directly to the Emergency Room at your local pediatric hospital, such as: Phoenix Children's Hospital or Banner Thunderbird Medical Center.
If your child is older than two months, does not appear
to be in distress, and has a temperature over 100, we suggest trying a
fever reducer such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

Celida Rangel
Dr. Rangel was born in Brownsville, Texas. Her family
moved to Chandler, Arizona during grade school, and this is where she
grew up. She graduated from Northern Arizona University with a chemistry
degree. She attended medical school at the University of Arizona,
College of Medicine and pediatric residency at Phoenix Children's
Hospital and Maricopa Medical Center.
She opened her clinic, West Phoenix Pediatrics, in 2005
and since then has been committed to caring for the children of the west
valley.
Dr. Rangel is married and has two children. During her
off hours, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, cheering on
her favorite sports teams (go Cowboys!, go ASU!), enjoying the outdoors
and trying new restaurants.
Lisa Hunt
Originally from Utah, Dr. Hunt spent most of her
childhood in central Phoenix. She left the valley to earn a degree in
microbiology at Northern Arizona University, and then headed south to
tackle medical school at the University of Arizona. Dr. Hunt completed
her pediatric training at Phoenix Children's Hospital and Maricopa
Medical Center.
While Dr. Hunt dedicates her local practice to children
in the west Phoenix area, she spends part of each summer taking care of
chronically ill children in Bolivia. She believes that each child
deserves kind and compassionate medical attention regardless of where
they live.
Dr. Hunt can often be found out and about in the downtown
area, three chihuahuas in tow, enjoying all that the valley has to
offer.
About
Dr. Rangel and Dr. Hunt are proud to serve the children
of the west valley.
During medical training a long long time ago, they often dreamed about
going into business together, and are happy to finally see that dream
come true! They run a small clinic, and this means they must have a
strict office policy to keep things organized and fair to all.
General Policies
We are a general pediatric practice, composed of West
Phoenix Pediatrics (Celida Rangel, MD) and Lisa Hunt MD, PLC. We are two
separate practices operating in one office space with a shared staff.
Patients of Dr. Rangel (or Dr. Hunt) must remain with her for all primary care and well child visits.
Once assigned to Dr. Hunt or Dr. Rangel, we do not allow children to switch doctors.
You may see the other doctor for a sick visit if your doctor is not available that day.
We reserve Friday clinic for sick visits only, so be sure and call us early to make an appointment!
We allow you to cancel an appointment up to 2 hours before the scheduled time without penalty.
We do charge $25 for no-shows or cancellations within 2 hours of the appointment time.
Please be courteous and cancel instead of no-showing to an appointment so that we can use that time slot for another sick child. If you arrive late for your child's appointment, you may be asked to reschedule to a later date.
When making well child appointments, you may schedule up to 2 children together. Our schedules tend to fill up quickly, so please call us a few months in advance.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
