Croton Pediatrics

Croton Pediatrics is dedicated to providing top-quality, compassionate and personalized care to our patients and their families.

We offer patients an inviting, clean and safe environment — where they feel respected and cared for.

What is a Patient-Centered Medical Home?

A Patient-Centered Medical Home is not a building, place or hospital. Rather, it is an approach to providing comprehensive healthcare. As your PCMH, we want to be the first place you think of for all of your child’s medical needs. We believe that the partnership between the patient, the patient’s family, and his/her primary care provider and care team is important. The care team, led by your primary care provider, is committed to providing the best healthcare services possible. Your child’s care team will work with you and any outside providers or facilities to coordinate care across all settings, including behavioral health. The team will offer appropriate medical advice, information, and self-management support based on current recommendations and evidence-based guidelines.

You and Your Child

Are comfortable sharing concerns and questions with your pediatric team and other health care providers
Provide a complete and accurate medical and family history to your pediatric team to ensure that the practice has all of the most important and relevant medical information to effectively care for your child
Routinely communicate your child’s needs and family priorities to your pediatric team
Remember to tell your pediatric team about any care received between visits (including emergency room visits, urgent care clinics) so we can help coordinate your child’s care
Ask questions if you do not understand something
Keep scheduled appointments or call to reschedule as soon as possible
Bring your insurance card to each appointment
Pay copays and past-due balances at the time of service

We see you, the parent, as an important member of your child’s health care team. As your child matures, we hope he or she will become an increasingly active team member. Preparing your child to take the lead in caring for his or her own health is, ultimately, our team’s most important task.

New Patients

Your Visit

We have a parking lot directly behind the office. There is also two- hour parking available on the street.

If you are a new patient, please have all of your child’s records transferred before your first appointment. You can also download our New Patient Registration Form and bring it to your first visit.

Please remember to bring your child’s insurance card, your copayment and a list of all your child’s medications to every visit.

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we may run late. We will let you know if this is the case and give you the option to reschedule your appointment. All patients under age 16 must be accompanied by a parent.

After Hours, Walk Ins & Emergencies

If your child has an emergency, please call 911. An emergency is any condition that could be life threatening, such as a loss of consciousness, severe bleeding or a seizure.

If your child needs care after hours, call our office number to be connected to our answering service. An operator will ask for your name, your child’s name, phone number and the reason for the call. The doctor on call will be notified and will call you back to discuss the issue and decide on a plan of care.

Patients who come into the office during office hours with a non-emergency condition will be fit into the existing schedule as best as possible. In some cases, you may be asked to return later in the day when the schedule allows.

Medical Records

We store all of your child’s information (office visit records, immunizations and prescriptions) on a secure, electronic database.

Electronic records have been shown to decrease medical errors, find drug interactions, allow for electronic prescriptions and make referrals more efficient and accurate.
