About Westchester Park Pediatrics

Westchester Park Pediatrics has been providing pediatric and adolescent care for more than ten years. Our friendly, professional staff warmly welcomes every patient to our bright, child friendly office. Patients needing an acute care visit are never denied an appointment.

We accept most major insurance plans. Our office is conveniently located close to all major highways and has plenty of free parking.

Controlled Substance Prescriptions

Due to new NY state regulations, we require at least 48 hours notice before we can refill prescriptions for controlled substances, including ADD and ADHD medications. As always, we cannot provide medication refills on weekends or holidays. Due to the new state regulations, we will be unable to make exceptions to this policy.

Our services

We offer a full range of pediatric care services, including:

• adolescent medical care for patients ages 15-21
• school/camp physicals
• immunizations
• routine examinations
• lab services, including blood drawing, rapid strep tests and throat cultures, and rapid flu testing
• dermabond, a form of “skin glue” that closes superficial cuts without using stiches
• ear lavage for children with excessive ear wax
• ear piercing (the cost of this service is not covered by insurance)
• wart removal
• prenatal visits

Your visit

If you’ve just had a baby, we recommend that you schedule an appointment within one week of discharge from the hospital or sooner, if needed.

All routine well visits are by appointment only and are usually scheduled with your primary doctor. Please try to be on time. If you are unable to keep a routine scheduled appointment, please notify our office 24 hours in advance; otherwise, a $40 cancellation fee will apply.
