Is Dr. Miran really board-certified in both pediatrics and internal medicine?

Yes. Dr. Miran completed full training in both specialties and is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics (FAAP) and the American Board of Internal Medicine (FACP). This dual training is uncommon and allows him to care for patients from birth through senior years.

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes — kids, adults, and seniors. Book online with Dr. Miran on Healow or call (417) 310-9286. Most appointments are available within 1–2 weeks; same-day sick visits are often available.

Can my whole family see Dr. Miran?

Yes — that's the point. Dr. Miran's dual training in pediatrics and internal medicine means kids, parents, and grandparents can all be cared for by the same doctor, with one connected record.

Do you do sports physicals for Carthage Tigers athletes?

Absolutely. We do thorough school and sports physicals year-round, and we ramp up scheduling before fall and spring sports seasons. Bring the school form — we'll fill it out at the visit.

My child has autism. Will the visit be comfortable for them?

Yes. We offer sensory-friendly accommodations — quieter rooms, dimmed lights, longer appointment slots, and a no-rush approach. Tell us when you book so we can prepare.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes, for established patients when appropriate (medication follow-ups, simple sick visits, mental health check-ins). New patients are seen in person for the first visit.

What if my child is sick after hours?
