Quality

The major area insurers rank us as one of Western New York’s top pediatric practices for quality. Our doctors are Board Certified by the American Board of Pediatrics.

Our providers have been caring for the needs of children from birth through college age for over twenty five years. We offer our patients warm and compassionate care in a technologically advanced, academic, and progressive medical practice.

Accessibility

Same day sick appointments are available each day.  An Early Morning Walk-In Service at the East Robinson Road office is open Monday through Friday from 7:15 AM to 8:00 AM. Doctors and nurses are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. With electronic medical records, your child's health history is available at any of three suburban locations. Most childhood problems are better handled in your child’s “medical home”. You never have to seek care anywhere else.

Connectivity/Reliability

Electronic medical records provide easy access to your child's history and have proven to increase quality of care. Test results are readily available to your child's provider.  Prescriptions are sent electronically to the pharmacy of your choice.

Family Centered Medical Home

We value a partnership between your family and our medical care team. We’ll work with you to promote health and positive quality of life as your child grows and develops into an adult. Always ask to see your doctor for well checkups and for ill visits. The best care is given to a patient when there is an active relationship between the primary doctor and the family. We care about both the emotional and physical needs of our young patients, and their families. Click here for " What is a Medical Home?"  Click here for "How to Make the Most of Your Appointment."

Preventive Care

At each checkup we discuss the whole health of your child including nutrition, growth and development, safety, family and social interactions. We will work with families, teachers, school nurses, psychologists, and other providers to help identify and treat the multitude of challenges facing school age children.
