Most caring, knowledgeable and skilled Pediatricians in CT. The Pediatricians listen to my concerns as a parent and address any issues that I have in regards to my child's health. I live in Cheshire but I wouldn't choose any other Pediatrician. They offer same day appointments when my child is sick and virtual consults in either their Bristol or Southington facilities. They are part of the CCMC Network so they keep a close line of communication with the specialists at the Connecticut Children's Medical Center which is great! Highly recommend The Pediatric Care Center to take care of your family's health!
