Caring For Your Children Like We Would Our Own

Welcome to Thompson River Pediatrics and Urgent Care!

We are owned by Dr. Ashlea Franques and Amber Griffin. We are best friends that realized that together with our vision and compassion for children we could build an environment that provides a unique and more personal experience for every patient. Owned and operated by mothers, we understand parents’ desire for personal, comprehensive and timely care for children. We offer an integrated behavioral and medical model in our office and believe in treating the whole child by offering as much as possible in our office where the kids already feel safe. We also have a strong belief in family and that it takes a village to raise a child. This is why we only hire people that believe in and strive to honor our motto “Caring for your children, like we would our own!”

What Our Parents Say

Dr. Franques has been incredible for our family. She takes her time with every visit, listens closely, and never makes us feel rushed - even when we bring in multiple kids at once. She has a calm, confident way of addressing every concern, and her diagnoses have always been accurate and helpful.The practice is organized, friendly, and it's clearly centered around giving families the support they need, but it’s Dr. Franques who makes it truly outstanding. We are so thankful to have her caring for our children.

I wish that they saw adults, that’s how amazing this group of doctors and nurses are. They answer the phone anytime of night, reassure me when I need it, or tell me it’s serious when it is. I’m so appreciative of having found them, and they have cared for all of my children. Dr. Franques is the best doctor I’ve ever met.

All three of my kiddos use Thompson River Pediatrics, and we have a great experience every time. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. 100% recommend them!

Dr Robinson and Thompson River Pediatrics have been nothing but caring, attentive and anything but dismissive in my concerns. They have even recently accommodated in seeing us at the end of the day last minute when my son needed antibiotics. It’s been good to have a good drs office on the team. Especially when your baby was born early.

I can not say enough good things about this place! We are younger parents and have had issues with feeling like doctors belittle us or don’t believe us when it comes to our kids. Rachel makes us feel seen and heard. She is also great with making our kids feel safe and comfortable. They actually love going to see her! We will never go anywhere else! If you are looking for a place to take your kiddos Thompson River is the place to go!

We had a sick 19 month old and brought her in. It’s really hard when your baby isn’t feeling well. Dr Sigl handled our baby with such care. She has an excellent bedside manner and helped my daughter to start feeling better. I truly appreciate the care that we received and would recommend Thompson River Pediatrics to anyone who wants their family to be healthy. Nice job, Dr Sigl, you really made a difference in my child’s health.

Incredible team! The staff here is caring and very competent. And thanks to that pediatric urgent care, we have avoided the ER several times!! We have a kiddo with complex things and they were able to get to the bottom of it so we could get the best help possible. Very thankful.

This place is amazing. From the MAs to the providers… outstanding. Everyone is so nice and thorough and they listen to you as a parent which is so so valuable. I always feel heard every time I bring my girls here. We live 40 min away and we drive past several urgent cares on our way here and it is definitely worth the drive. They never treat you like you’re inferior and no request for your child is unreasonable to them which is so rare in healthcare these days. Thank you for setting the bar high in our healthcare system. Thompson river certainly stands out against the rest!
