Our Practice
At Mesquite Pediatrics, we provide the personalized care that we would expect for our own children.
High-Quality, Personalized Care from Infancy to Early Adulthood
From your first office visit to routine well checks, sick visits, and chronic care appointments, we take the time to listen and empower you to promote health and wellness for you and your family. We realize each patient and family is unique, therefore each treatment plan is tailored to the individual.
Quality Care
Mesquite Pediatrics is committed to providing high quality, evidence-based medical care to all families based on current guidelines and research. We help you and your family navigate uncertain and changing times with scientific and fact-based care.
Independence
Mesquite Pediatrics is one of the few remaining independent pediatric practices in Tucson, meaning there are no corporate interests overriding our ability to provide the most appropriate care for your child. We have no one looking over our shoulders, forcing us to see more patients than we deem appropriate. This allows us to do what is right for our patients, spending the time needed to ensure the highest quality care, with only the best interests of our patients in mind.

“Dr Couchman is the best.”
Dr. Couchman is the best doctor we have had since we moved out here 5 years ago. I wish he could care for adults as well! He is so attentive to my boys' needs and spends plenty of time assessing their physical AND mental health. We live nearly an hour away but it is worth the drive to receive such exceptional care.
“Truly grateful to have found this place!”
We are new to Mesquite Pediatrics and just saw Dr. Yell, who is also new. My kids were treated like people and not like a number. Our nurse and Dr. Yell were both very friendly and compassionate. Dr. Yell was very good at explaining things to my kids and myself, without feeling like he was being demeaning. The nurse was so gentle with drawing blood and taking their vitals.
“Dr. Abdy has been wonderful.”
She is easy going, kind and helps put my children at ease. She has always been respectful of our vaccine choices and is happy to answer questions. We couldn't be happier with our experience with the other doctors when we have had one off visit for illnesses. The staff has been helpful and welcoming. We have been part of this practice for 15 years and still love it.
