The goal of the physicians and staff of Pediatric Health Care at Newton-Wellesley is to provide our patients and parents with the highest quality pediatric care in a patient oriented environment that is sensitive, caring, and nurturing.

We will create a partnership with parents and patients, empowering parents to competently cope with illness and to understand the issues of growth and development. Our commitment is to help parents care for their children.

"High Quality Pediatric Care" has a special meaning to us. It starts with years of education and training to become experts in our field. It continues with training in the newest techniques and awareness of the latest developments in medical science. It means being available to patients with urgent or emergency needs.

Most of all, it means caring for your children as if they were ours.

A medical home is a model of delivering primary care that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family-centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective care. Critical pediatric medical home principles are:

• Family-centered partnership: Trusting, collaborative, working partnership with families, respecting their diversity and recognizing that they are the constant in a child’s life

• Community-based system: 
  Family centered- coordinated network designed to promote the healthy development and well being of children and their families

• Transitions: 
  Provision of high-quality, developmentally appropriate, health care services that continue uninterrupted as the individual moves along and within systems of services and from adolescence to adulthood
  
  

• Value:
  A high-performance health care system requires appropriate financing to support and sustain medical homes that promote system-wide quality care with optimal health outcomes, family satisfaction, and cost efficiency

As part of our commitment of providing medical home, we will do anything within our power to make care efficient and cost effective.

Developmental pediatric consultation is available if questions or concerns arise about your baby or child’s development or behavior. Our goal is helping to understand your child’s strengths and weaknesses and define a plan to help your child develop to their greatest potential.

Language disorders, autism and the spectrum disorders, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities, sleep disorders, and behavior issues are some of the things that are part of Pediatric Health Care’s expertise.

We explore the new technologies available to find non-traditional methods to achieve our goals. We use an electronic medical record (NextGen) and we provide care via e-mail, telephone, and Web services.
