Welcome to West Alabama Pediatrics!

Mommy & Me Lactation Services are located in West Alabama Pediatrics and provide Prenatal & Lactation Consultations by International Board-Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) and Certified Lactation Counselors (CLC). We help mothers and babies get the best possible start in life by providing prenatal education and postpartum consults.  Breastfeeding provides essential nutrition for infants birth to one year and older. As with learning anything new, most breastfeeding mothers and babies (dads too!) need some instruction and support during this learning period.

What Our Patients are Saying
I have had 22 years with this practice spanning three children. We are happy to have a pediatrician office that gives such good care, organization, responsiveness, and depth of knowledge caring for our children from birth to 18. Thank you Dr. Petitt, Dr. Cockrum, Dr. Richardson, and the additional doctors added to this practice we have yet to meet.

Dr. Richardson saw my son, Henry, for a same day sick appointment. The receptionists, Amy, helped us over the phone with scheduling and Hannah, with check in and financials. His nurse, Hayley, was timely with getting him checked in and tested. And lastly, Dr. Richardson performed a thorough exam and sent prescriptions and orders promptly for his Chest XR. After the appointment, we were able to communicate easily and receive results in his patient portal. Thanks to WAPS for caring for my big kid!
Carolyn D
I had a well child check for my two children today, ages 12 and 10. I was not expecting a good experience based on previous visits to this office; but today was an incredible visit from start to finish for both my children and I. Dr. Licata was a breath of fresh air--he was upbeat & positive and interactive with my kids and I the entire time. I was impressed with his caring and thoughtful care for my kids, but also for our family. The nurse,Cheyenne, was also a beam of sunshine and incredibly receptive to all questions and concerns that I had. This is exactly the kind of care I want for my children, and I highly recommend them for pediatric care.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the office had a comfortable and kid-friendly atmosphere.Dr. Licata was fantastic! They were patient and kind with our child, taking the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly.

She is always so kind, quick to answer any questions we may have, and always so patient towards our children, I could not have picked a better doctor’s office. Whenever someone asks what pediatrician I recommend I always say West Alabama pediatrics, They truly are the best!

I hit traffic and was running very late for my appointment. They worked with me and waited for me to arrive and offered to assist me cleaning out my car after my 2 kids got car sick. Very friendly staff and so polite even though we were having a very hard time.
Codie W
I’ve been going to WAP for about a year now and I’ve not had a bad experience yet. All of the providers have been so kind. The nurses are all awesome, and they’re just on top of it! They make my first time momma heart feel at ease when we go!
Emily B
The physicians and staff at WALPed are always friendly, caring, and professional. They're good people you can entrust with your children's health.
Lola M
I have loved getting to know all the providers and staff members at West Alabama Peds over the past 4 years. My kids feel a connection to each provider! There isn’t a single employee in the office that doesn’t want to be there, and the genuine love and care and understanding for patients is so admirable. If you are ever seen at this place, guaranteed, you are loved! We are forever thankful!
Lena P
My daughter has been coming here since birth and she is 9 yrs old now. The doctors and nurses are great. This last visit they were super busy & we waited for about an hour. But I was pleased with the care she received & we got our flu shots.
