Pediatric Healthcare Associates

About Pediatric Healthcare Associates

For over 50 years, we the doctors of Pediatric Healthcare Associates have been treating Fairfield County's children as if they were our own. We've enjoyed the great pleasure of seeing our patients grow up into contributing, healthy adults - many of them have even brought their children to us as patients. In a very real sense, that makes us a family, one that's especially proud of how well we take care of our youngest members. We think our patients and their parents appreciate us as much as we appreciate the opportunity to do the work we love so much.

We meet our goal of providing your children with the finest medical care possible by selecting physicians and staff that not only care for children but who do it with exceptional expertise and skill.

While you will always enjoy a one-on-one relationship with the pediatrician of your choice, one of the advantages of our group practice is that when your physician is away, there is always another board certified pediatrician available for immediate consultation; not only during regular business hours, but 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

At Pediatric Healthcare, we strive to offer the finest care anywhere. If you have questions, suggestions or comments, you will always find us ready to learn and listen. We welcome the opportunity to serve you and thank you for trusting us with your children.
