Bobbitt Design Build recently began construction on a 9,192-square-foot medical office for Chapin Pediatrics at 119 Amicks Ferry Road. Dr. Luke Bonnett, a longtime Chapin resident, is expanding his healthcare practice to meet the growing needs of the town.

Chapin Pediatrics will now have 20 exam rooms instead of the previous eight. The exterior incorporates brick, stone, pre-cast, stucco and HardiePlank with architectural shingles on the roof. All the cabinets are custom, and there is a partial emergency generator.

A past Bobbitt client introduced Bonnett to the Bobbitt team in 2013, and they have been working together on and off since then. Bonnett plans to hire more doctors or nurse practitioners at Chaplin Pediatrics in the future.
