If your child is hospitalized

Children who need hospitalization will be admitted to Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo, a hospital specializing in the care of children. For Tonawanda and Island Pediatric patients, your hospitalized child will be cared for by the Pediatric Hospitalist Service. This is a team of doctors who specialize in inpatient pediatric care. Hospitalists are available throughout the day to provide immediate care to your child. They will see your child more than once a day, if needed. The Hospitalist  will communicate with your primary doctor at Tonawanda and Island Pediatrics throughout your child's hospital stay.  Once you child is well enough to go home, a follow up visit will be arranged with your primary doctor in the office.

In addition to the Hospitalist who is in charge of your child's care, there are other doctors that you will see during your child's stay in the hospital. Children's Hospital is a "teaching" hospital for the SUNY at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.  Medical students and physicians in training (interns and residents) under the close direction of the Hospitalist will also care for your child.  At times, other specialists may be consulted to help care for your child. In some cases, children will be admitted to the hospital under the service of a specialist or surgeon. 

Whether your child is being care for by a Hospitalist, surgeon or specialist, always feel free to contact our office if you have questions or concerns.
