Excellence
Our providers and staff are committed to deliver the highest level of healthcare and support for you and your family. We believe there is no greater privilege or trust than to provide care for your children.
Caring
If a problem arises outside of our normal office hours, there is always a doctor on call 24 hours a day.
National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) Certificate of Recognition
Our office is a level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home. This is the highest rating that practices can receive. We are proud to be one of the very few pediatric practices in the region to have received this prestigious award.
As part of being a Patient Centered Medical Home, we encourage our families to see the same provider for all well visits and even sick visits, if scheduling permits. We believe the best care is given to a patient when there is an on-going relationship between the provider and family.
Participation
We participate with many insurance companies. We encourage you to contact your insurance company to assure that we are considered "in network".
On your first visit to our office, you will be asked to fill out some intake paper work at the time of your first visit. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment, and bring your current insurance card with you. This will help us expedite your insurance verification and help us get you seen a lot quicker!

Child Development
We have a strong commitment to your child's development and well-being. We offer many resources in the office and on the website (please click on the Current Patients tab on the bottom right hand side of the screen) pertaining to child development and well-being. One resource that we believe is especially important is the Harvard Center on the Developing Child. This resource is a collaborative effort across the Harvard University Graduate Schools and affiliated healthcare system that focuses on "improving life outcomes" for children. There is an excellent multimedia presentation on this website regarding Core Concepts in Early Development that can help you understand how your child's earliest experiences can help to develop their brain architecture.
