Essential information, resources, and office policies to help you manage your child's health with confidence.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends routine well-child exams to promote physical, mental, and social health. We will see your child at the following ages:
You will be provided a completed physical exam form and vaccine record for your child at every check-up. This form may be used for 12 months for sports, school, and all related activities. You are encouraged to keep a copy of it at home for these purposes. If you require additional forms, please request these forms through your patient portal.

We, the physicians of Town and Village Pediatrics, unequivocally demonstrate our strongest support for the vaccination of our patients. This is one of the single most important steps you can take in giving your child the gift of good health. Limiting the risk of vaccine-preventable illness is imperative to the health and safety of your children.
We are pleased that the large majority of our patients maintain an up-to-date vaccination history. We offer our strongest recommendation to our patients to adhere to the standard immunization schedule, as developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and CDC.
It is the collective opinion of millions of scientists and physicians worldwide that vaccines are both safe and effective. Yet, recently there has been considerable public scrutiny and misinformation regarding childhood vaccines. This can be confusing and distressing to parents.
We, the physicians of Town and Village Pediatrics, will recommend the vaccines that we know are important, safe, and effective for your child; advice that we will tailor specifically for your child and his/her medical history. We have heard nearly every rumor regarding immunization; please do not trust these stories blindly. You are always welcome to ask us about the scientific validity of such rumors.
It is our belief that all children need a place to seek medical care, even those children in families that deviate from medical and societal norms. However, we also have a moral and professional obligation to protect our patients and communities, and to take a strong stand in support of immunization.
As such, we are no longer accepting any new patients whose families are not intending to complete the standard childhood vaccination series.
We will continue to care for all patients currently under our care, but please be aware that we will take every measure to advise you to resume the vaccine schedule we have recommended to you.
To us, as your physicians, this is not an abstract debate on social media but an essential component of your child's health. The risk of vaccine-preventable infection is in our own neighborhoods. For those current patients with a vaccine lag, it is never too late to resume your recommended vaccination schedule, and we will never stop advising you to give your children their share of one of the greatest successes of modern medicine.
