Welcome to Waterman Pediatrics

It is our pleasure to serve you in maintaining the health of your children and families. We hope that this web site will be a useful and reliable way to get answers to some of your questions about how the office works, selected health topics and commonly used over the counter medications.

 

KidsDoc Symptom Checker

HealthyChildren.org now has an exciting new interactive tool to help parents evaluate their child's symptoms. Based on Pediatric Telephone Protocols, by Barton D. Schmitt, MD, FAAP, the KidsDoc Symptom Checker allows parents to choose from a wide range of symptoms, then follow the symptom decision chart to determine the appropriate action to take, whether it be home care or a trip to the emergency room.

Office Hours
Our office is open Monday through Friday 9 AM - 5 PM and there is an on call doctor available for urgent problems at all other times. Depending on the season and the volume of sick visits for a particular day we may see patients after 5 PM. Our phones are less busy between the hours of 10:30 and 12 noon and between 1:30 and 3:30 in the afternoon. You will get through more easily at those times.
