In just a couple of days, our pediatric practice at UConn Health will transition to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.  There are a lot of benefits to this including greater coordination between our primary care and specialty physicians at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center which will result in superior care for our patients.

Although the practice is changing ‘affiliations’, we (the physicians) are not changing, nor are our office locations. We remain at 800 Connecticut Boulevard, East Hartford and 65 Kane Street, West Hartford.   Importantly, we will remain on the staff of UConn John Dempsey Hospital and continue to provide all of clinical services at the Well Baby Nursery.  We will also continue to serve as teachers to our medical students and residents and to serve as full-time members of the Department of Pediatrics.

Our phone number will change. To reach pediatrics after October 1, to establish care or make an appointment, call us at 860-837-7250.

Primary care pediatrics has been a part of UConn Health from its beginning, and the pediatricians wish to thank the UConn Health community for its support over the years.  We look forward to continuing to serve our community and to enjoy many future collaborations under our new hospital affiliation.
