We provide a wide range of pediatric services from birth through adolescence. Because we are part of an academic medical center, our patients receive the advantages of the latest research and innovation in health care both in the promotion of wellness and the treatment of illness.

Appointments
You will be given the earliest possible appointment with your child's practitioner. If an appointment is needed immediately, we will make every effort to have your child seen by a physician the same day.
We are accepting new patients and welcome referrals. We participate in most major insurance plans. Parents-to-be are encouraged to make an appointment to meet with one of our pediatricians prior to the birth of their baby. We see newborns at UConn's John Dempsey Hospital and many other hospitals in the area.
