Welcome To McKenzie Pediatrics!
Dr. Todd Huffman & Dr. Monique Carroll
Our independent providers welcome children of all ages, from birth through adolescence, to our fun and kid-friendly office, located in the Eugene/Springfield area of Oregon.
If you are expecting a baby, call 541-726-4100 today to schedule a FREE visit to meet one of our physicians. We are also thrilled to offer Lactation Services through Heidi Behrends, R.N. IBCLC.

Our physicians are preferred providers on most major insurance plans. We are also affiliated with LIPP, Lane Independent Primary Physicians. Please note that for the health of all of our children we do not accept as new patients those whose parents have chosen not to vaccinate. And please note that as of January 1st, 2017, our physicians no longer provide inpatient or newborn hospital care.
Please note that as of August 1st, 2022 Dr. Naoko Hokari, after more than 17 years with McKenzie Pediatrics, has relocated with her family to the beautiful islands of Hawaii. She will be missed!

COVID-19 Exposure?
If your child has had an exposure to an individual who has tested positive for COVID, please read through the following guidelines:
1. If your child has NO symptoms, testing is generally NOT necessary unless there are concerns with regards to return to school or daycare, or your child is soon due to be around a vulnerable person such as an elderly grandparent, or someone with a compromised immune system
2. If your child has no symptoms, but you still prefer him or her to be tested, best is to do so around the FIFTH day after exposure
3. If your exposed child develops symptoms, you could simply presume that the child has COVID if the exposure was close and for > 15 minutes. But if testing is still desired, Monday through Friday we can send an order to McKenzie Willamette Medical Center for a drive-through test, with results within 48 hours.
4. Our office MAY be able to perform the test, but we limit this availability to young children under the age of 7 years. And as our FIRST priority is to seeing patients and triaging phone calls regarding ill children, we may not have staffing to test more than a few children per day. You may be directed to McKenzie-Willamette. Please understand that we cannot devote our staff to daylong COVID testing.
5. If your child has had an exposure, but has no symptoms, we recommend 10 days of quarantine per CDC guidelines. If your child tests POSITIVE for COVID, we advise 5 days of home isolation followed by 5 days of mask-wearing around others outside the home, if asymptomatic (no symptoms).
6. However, if your child test positive AND has symptoms, home isolation is advised for 5 days, and beyond until symptoms are resolving for at least 72 hours.
7. Please vaccinate your child age 5 or older. Now is the time, and the window of opportunity is closing. It takes 10-14 days for the vaccine to start working, and a full two weeks after the second dose before maximum achievable immunity is reached. If you might be an anxious, worried, or panicked parent upon learning that your vaccine-eligible child has been exposed to COVID, then PLEASE VACCINATE NOW. Thank you!!
