Dr. Sells created Intown Pediatrics in 2006 to provide warm, friendly, and excellent care for the growing population of in-town families. The practice started in a charming Grant Park bungalow, but quickly outgrew the space. In late, 2009, Intown Pediatrics will be moving to a brand-new, larger space in Glenwood Park, just around the corner from its original location.
