Our History

hey how are you
First Choice Pediatrics started in a small one doctor office (picture) next to the Winter Park Hospital in (YEAR) buy a determined yet brilliant doctor named Cassia Portugal MD, FAAP. When a practice is good... it grows, and grow it did! 

With an overwhelming influx of happy returning patients Dr Portugal had no choice but to bring in more help. Through the ebbs and flows of good practice First Choice Pediatrics grew to what it is today. A successful multi location clinic with 7 practicing pediatricians. 

First Choice Pediatrics has always and will always be a place where love for the children abounds and all are treated equal regardless of financial status. It is this this attitude Dr Portugal has started with and will end with which is core to the success of First Choice Pediatrics.
