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.
Our mental health support groups are designed to reduce barriers to family wellness, while fostering a sense of community and shared experience. By emphasizing coping strategies & communication skills, and understanding common mental health challenges, these groups empower parents and children to develop healthy habits that can positively influence family dynamics.
