Your Family is Our Family
Spring fever is here!Don’t forget, COVID is here too. Guidelines for vaccinated individuals have certainly changed in regard to being in groups unmasked indoors, but the recommendations really haven’t changed for unvaccinated people. Children less than 16 years fall under this category. [Read more…] about Spring Fever!!!
Due to the expected inclement weather, both the Ridgefield and Wilton offices will be CLOSED tomorrow February 1st.
As always, we will still be just a phone call away!
Providers will also be available for sick televisits throughout the day, as long as they continue to have internet and power. We will provide any updates that become necessary.
Stay safe and stay warm!
Happy New Year!
We hope everyone has had a safe and healthy holiday season!
CHADIS? Is this spam? If your child has had a well exam in the past month, you’ve probably received an email from CHADIS and have wondered if it’s spam…. It is not. CHADIS is an online library of age-appropriate screenings. These screenings are a standard of care and are recommended by the AAP and most insurance companies. The screenings help your doctor to diagnose and manage health, behavioral, developmental, and emotional issues. CHADIS enables parents to fully express their concerns and “visit priorities” prior to the visit. This allows for more quality time during the well-child visit as it ensures these issues are appropriately addressed. In some cases, CHADIS may help detect issues early before the signs are present. This is an invaluable tool, please make sure you complete it
Yes, any and all CHADIS screenings will be billed to your insurance company. If they are not a covered service under your insurance plan you will only be billed for the value of one screening even if, based on age, multiple screenings are completed. The maximum you would be billed is $25.00.
The parent will be given a user name. The user name is the email that we have on file*. Each child in the family will be attached to that user name. The day before a scheduled visit, you will receive an email, from CHADIS, letting you know that there are screenings ready for you to complete. Depending on the child’s age, it may only be the visit priorities. You will also receive a text message from us, reminding you to complete CHADIS before the visit.
* In some cases, a different user name will be needed. Your user name, if different than email, will be communicated to you.
The Do’s and Don’ts of Social DistancingThe economy and society are opening up, and it can be very confusing to know what we should and should not be doing to keep ourselves safe right now. The good news is that we are in a much better place regarding COVID 19 than we were in March. We have managed to decrease the numbers of COVID infections effectively. The “not so good news” is that we only managed to be so successful due to social distancing. [Read more…] about The Do’s and Don’ts of Social Distancing
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!

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.
