Life happens, and we understand that sometimes you cannot make your appointment. Please call us at least one day in advance to cancel or change your scheduled appointment. We do not charge a fee for missed appointments.

Call us first. A pediatrician from our office is always available by phone for emergencies. After hours our answering service will page the provider on call. They will help you decide whether the problem needs urgent attention and, if so, at what location. We can handle many problems at our office, such as lacerations needing stitches and asthma episodes. In some cases, we will direct you to an emergency room, but let us help you decide which would be most helpful for the problem at hand.

Our policy is that all of our patients be vaccinated. Please see our vaccine policy for more information.

Our patients are not assigned to a particular provider. Some families prefer to see the same provider for all of their well visits, while others like to get to know each provider. At the beginning of the weekday, the on-call provider has a wide-open schedule. This means we can always see your child the day you call, but the on-call provider will most likely be the one to have the time to do so.

Please view dosage information for these medications.

We will see patients from birth through age 26.

Our average wait time is less than five minutes.

While we keep an open mind about alternative medical practices and will work with parents on a case-by-case basis, we are committed to the scientific method and evidence-based medicine.

We have four physicians and two nurse practitioners. Learn more about our providers.

All children need an appointment to be seen, and we strive to provide same-day appointments for ill children. If this is not possible, our providers and office staff will work with you to arrange an alternative to receive prompt and appropriate care.

Prescriptions are renewed during regular office hours. Sometimes, we may require that patient be seen in our office before medication renewal. Please allow up to 3 business days for our office to complete a refill authorization request.

We will gladly complete these forms for you. In order to do this, your child should have had a well-child visit within the past 12 months. Visits for an illness address a specific problem and are not ordinarily comprehensive enough for us to complete these forms. There is no charge for completing these forms, but please allow us one week. They can be mailed or faxed if that works best for you.

All co-payments or visits are payable at the time of service. Our office accepts Mastercard, Visa, Discover card, personal checks, and cash. Should you have any financial questions or concerns. View our billing and insurance page for more information.

We offer free prenatal consultations to meet one of our providers before the baby is born and answer any questions you may have. Upon admission to the hospital for your delivery, you will notify the staff who your child’s pediatrician will be. At the time of discharge from the hospital, you will be instructed to call our office to schedule your child’s first checkup. After coming home from giving birth, your baby should see a provider within the next 2-3 days. At your baby’s first visit, you should expect the provider to check the baby’s weight and height and answer any questions. Our practice is currently affiliated with Yale New Haven Health. Babies born at other area hospitals are welcome to come to our office after birth.
