Whether you are expecting a newborn, have recently moved to our area, or are looking for a new medical home for your children, we thank you for trusting us with your child’s health. We welcome new patients starting at birth through college age.

Please Note Our Immunization Policy

At Essex Pediatrics, our goal is to provide the highest quality medical care, based on the best available scientific data tailored to the unique values, goals, and concerns of each patient and family. An important part of our approach is childhood vaccinations, as routine immunizations have repeatedly been proven to be one of the safest, simplest, and most effective ways to keep your children and community safe and healthy. Given the importance of childhood immunizations, as well as for the safety of all our patients, we will not be accepting new patients who have no plans to give their children any immunizations.

We offer mental health and parenting support services.

Essex Pediatrics coordinates referrals for their patients to a diverse group of private practice therapists. In addition to individual counseling, we offer therapy groups, parent consults, and our new Caregiver Information Series.
