Pediatrics is a primary care specialty that focuses on the care of children from birth through adolescence and into young adulthood. Pediatricians provide routine check-ups and immunizations, treat minor ailments, diagnose and coordinate care for more serious conditions, and provide overall health and wellness care and guidance.

Our expert team of pediatricians and pediatric nurse practitioners has earned a reputation for providing outstanding personalized healthcare for children. We use a “primary care practice” model, meaning you select a single pediatrician or nurse practitioner within the practice to be your child’s primary care practitioner (PCP). And our doctors, many of whom have special interests in areas such as asthma and ADD/ADHD, emphasize the importance of getting to know “their families.”


Convenient Office Hours and Acute Care Appointments

To make it easier for working parents to conveniently access healthcare for their children, our Putnam office is open an extra hour in the evening (until 6 p.m.) Monday through Friday, so that parents can make appointments after school and work, when necessary.

And when a minor illness or injury arises, your child’s primary care team is there for you with acute care appointments. This provides not only convenience but also allows your child to be seen and treated by the same primary care team where he or she already has an established history of care. Saturday morning acute care appointmetnsare also offered at our Putnam location for pediatric patients from any of our practices. Because sick visits in our practices are billed as an office visit, this also helps you to avoid the higher cost of care at an urgent care center or emergency department.


Our Integrated Network of Care

As your “Patient Centered Medical Home” (PCMH), your pediatrician and the rest of your child’s primary care team also coordinates and facilitates his or her care throughout our system. To aid in this effort, we’ve designed our integrated system to allow your primary care team and our walk-in center, emergency department, specialists, diagnostic imaging technicians, laboratory technicians and other healthcare professionals to “talk” about your health through electronic medical records that provide instant access to your medical information. This allows your entire care team to make an informed and comprehensive evaluation of your condition and to provide top-quality care within a truly integrated and holistic approach that also eliminates errors and redundant services to help you control your healthcare costs.
