Why Chose Tonawanda/Island/Main Pediatrics?

We pride ourselves on a tradition of excellence, accessibility and caring. Allow us to form a partnership with you to help your child grow into a healthy, happy and self assured adult.  We look forward to working with you and your child.

Quality

The major area insurers rank us as one of Western New York’s top pediatric practices for quality. Our Pediatricians are Board Certified by the American Board of Pediatrics. They are highly skilled, experienced physicians practicing only pediatrics. Our Nurse Practitioners are certified in pediatric care. Breastfeeding assistance is provided by our Nurse Practitioners, who are Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultants. Our providers have cared 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 always available. Our offices are open to our patients 6 days per week. Professional care is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. You never have to seek care anywhere else. With electronic medical records, we can see your child at any of three suburban locations. Most childhood problems are better handled in your child’s “medical home”.

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 all pharmacies.

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.
