About Us – Spring Pediatrics

Welcome to Spring Pediatrics

Spring Pediatrics delivers compassionate, high-quality, and individualized medical care for children from birth through college. We have been serving the community over 40 years. Many of our parents were prior patients themselves and are now bringing their children for the same dependable and attentive services that help promote their children’s health and well being.

As a privately owned clinic, we offer a more personal and consistent experience than large hospital-owned practices—meaning your child sees the same trusted doctors and receives care tailored to their unique needs. Conveniently located in Silver Spring, MD near the I-495 Beltway, our experienced pediatricians, Dr. Antonio Cornier and Dr. Robert DaRosso, proudly serve families from Montgomery, Prince George’s, and Howard Counties, as well as the greater Washington, DC metro area.

Call 301-585-9600 to schedule your child’s appointment today.
