Your Family is Our Family
Our very own Dr Agoglia and her daughter Becca Cohen, a college freshman, have been busy writing a fun, educational story about a girl and her Teddy bear and their learning experience during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
It’s the first book they have written and they are excited to share it with you! We would love for you to read it and let us know how you like it.
Hope you enjoy it!

Towards the end of the month, CT will slowly start a staged reopening. Before each new stage is
realized, the state will have to reach certain standards in regards to the COVID virus. Some individuals
are overjoyed that they will soon be able to sit in a restaurant or enter a retail store. Other individuals
are filled with a sense of anxiety and dread as this new phase starts. It is easier to adhere to certain
guidelines when rules are very black and white. The staged opening presents a gray area for many
people as to how they should act and what they should be thinking. [Read more…] about What should your plan be as society slowly reopens?
Doctors’ Pediatric NewsWe hope that this message finds you all safe….and sane!
Knowing that we all need to find a new normal, we have adapted some changes related to the importance of separating children based on age and vulnerabilities. We will also continue to follow guidelines to keep you safe as we learn more about COVID 19. [Read more…] about Doctors’ Pediatric News
Doctors’ Pediatric is pleased to announce the start of our Open Air/Outdoor Well Visit. We remain committed to patient safety during this uncertain time. Not only does that include safety from COVID-19 exposure, but it also means keeping up with well child exams and appropriate vaccines. Now, more than ever, we need to be diligent with vaccine schedules so that society does not see a rise in vaccine preventable diseases while we do our best to tamp down COVID-19. The first wave of patients (besides children 2 and under) that we will target for well child visits/vaccines include 4/5 years old, 11 years old, and college bound children. These patients have the most urgent vaccine needs at this time.
In keeping with the ever-changing guidelines during this pandemic, the newest recommendation is to continue to have well child checks for children 2 and under. This recommendation stems from the fact that these children are most at risk if not receiving vaccines in a timely manner. The recommendations state that older children should postpone their well check for the future.
The doctors at Doctors Pediatric feel strongly that this is the correct guidance to keep everyone as safe as possible. We are, however, equally concerned that we are going to miss some important health concerns for children over 2 years of age. Considering that the well child visit could be put off by several months, we are encouraging families to set up a Televisit to discuss pertinent issues. If nothing else, it will give the doctors a chance to ask some general health and mental health questions to make sure that we are not overlooking any preexisting or blooming problems.
Please call the front desk and reach out to us so that we may do an interim Televisit to make sure that your child is healthy and emotionally well. If you already have a well visit that we are postponing, we can honor that time slot with a Televisit.
STAY WELL AND STAY SAFE!
Although many of us are so fortunate to be isolated at home with heat/food/technology/loved ones, we can’t deny that our new normal is a challenge. We are balancing work and children in tight quarters. Emotions are running high, and it is easy to lose sight of any gratitude during the day. Please practice self care. Our Televisits are up and running. Please reach out to us. We are just as much “here” for you regarding your emotional health as your physical health.
