Bartram Dental Center, BDC, has been in business since 2005, and its focus has always remained on positivity, compassion, teamwork, and family with the goal of providing patients with quality care and treatment. The doctors, Dr. Jason Lewis and Dr. Royce Barlow live and work in St. Johns along with their families.

As they designed their new office, providing a premier patient experience was always their intention. From the inviting lobby, the offer of a blanket, a warm hand towel, or a fresh baked cookie, they want patients to truly enjoy their time. Customer service is a lost art in the medical profession, and they are passionate about providing it for their patient family.

BDC made an investment to become a “Complete Health” dental practice and continue to receive training to enhance the level of care and connection to the medical community of their patients. For patients this means they are focused on helping them maintain their very best “complete health” –not just ideal “dental health”.

BDC is also home to Bartram Dental Assisting School (BDAS). Classes are held in the dedicated classroom space on Saturdays 8 AM – 5 PM and is available for community use during the week. Educating students on the importance of caring for patients, professionalism, chairside technique, and enabling them for success is something they are proud to contribute to the dental community.

​Pediatric Associates has proudly established a reputation for providing convenient, compassionate, high-quality care to the children of Duval County in their Main Street and Town Center locations. In April 2021, the practice expanded to St. John’s County with a new, state-of-the-art location in the Bartram Market Shopping Center. In addition to brand new amenities, the office also includes on-site laboratory services – ideal for parents’ busy schedules!

Our team of clinicians is dedicated to providing LOVING CARE to its patients and their families. Both Dr. Giselle Habet and Lyn Yarbrough, PA-C relocated from the Town Center location to develop and cultivate this Bartram Park location. As St. Johns residents, they are committed to making our neighborhood a healthier, safer place. Dr. Habet received her medical degree from the University of the West Indies in Trinidad & Tobago before completing her residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. Lyn Yarbrough received a Master’s degree in the physician assistant program at Barry University, also in Miami. 

At Pediatric Associates Bartram Park, we’ll turn your child’s boo-boos into giggles! Our office is open on Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. and also Saturday from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. for sick visits only. Visit www.pediatricassociates.com to learn more!

Awetism Wonderland is an autism therapy center created by Dr. Stephanie Vavilala, Ed.D., LMHC, BCBA, RPT-S. Dr. Vavilala struggled with infertility and after much struggle, conceived her daughter, Sabita. Her pregnancy with Sabita was normal and Dr. Vavilala and her husband, Raj, were head over heels in love with their miracle baby. All seemed to be going well until she was around two years old, when they noticed she wasn’t developing the same way other kids her age were.

Officially, when Sabita was two she was diagnosed with autism. Sabita is also non-verbal and uses an ipad communication program to talk. Dr. Vavilala wanted to do everything in her power to help Sabita and others like her to succeed and flourish, wherever they were in their journey.

Awetism Wonderland was born out of the need for Sabita and other children like her to receive all of their therapies under one roof. Awetism Wonderland was named after the concept of discovering the awe and wonder of autism instead of looking at it as a bad thing. It’s a way of seeing the world differently. While Awetism Wonderland offers traditional autism therapies like ABA, PT/OT/ST, and Anat Banial Therapy, they also provide therapies that give children the ability to explore their world, such as dance, music, art, and recreational therapies. They also offer a functional academic program that fosters a non-traditional learning environment so kids with autism can learn what is functional, at their pace, the way they learn best.
