At New Canaan Pediatrics, we are committed to providing the best possible care to our patients and families. We have been practicing in the area for over 50 years and we love watching our families grow and thrive. We cherish our relationship with our families and hope you find expertise and consistent quality in the services we provide.
Beginning May 31, 2021 New Canaan Pediatrics implemented an annual Administrative Fee. Rather than charge for each individual service, we have created a comprehensive care plan that will be more cost effective and easier for families. This plan allows us to continue to provide the most up to date services while remaining a small and personal office.
What Will This Comprehensive Care Fee Help Cover?
- Continuation of and direct access to our doctors 24/7 (no night nurse service fee & no charge for after-hours calls).
- Compliance with new regulations and liabilities impacting workplaces and front line healthcare workers.
- New Interactive Website – allows for ease of access to our portal, telehealth visits, AAP educational materials, symptom checkers and more. It is a permanently changing repository of digital and state of the art services to facilitate care and information.
- UV sterilization lamps and HVAC upgrades to ensure sterilized exam rooms extending well beyond recognized universal best practices such as post care wipe downs and disease prevention/mitigation protocols.
- Additional investments in clinical and practice management areas that make care access easier and recognizes the multiple ways in which our patients may choose to access care for their families.
- Continue to offer a wide selection of insurance companies for all our families.
