Prenatal Visits
Our prenatal consultations help expecting parents prepare for childbirth and newborn care. We provide comprehensive information about office procedures, same-day sick visits, and after-hours emergency coverage. These visits allow families to meet our medical team, ask questions, and understand what to expect during the transition to parenthood while establishing early care plans.
Wellness Exams
Regular wellness visits monitor children's growth, development, and overall health from infancy through adolescence. Our comprehensive assessments include physical exams, developmental milestone tracking, and age-appropriate vaccinations. We provide personalized guidance to parents about nutrition, sleep patterns, and behavioral development while maintaining continuous health records for each patient.
Immunizations
Our evidence-based immunization program protects children against preventable diseases following CDC-recommended schedules. We administer routine vaccines and provide documentation for school/daycare requirements while maintaining strict safety protocols. Our practice requires vaccinations for all patients to ensure community health and prevent disease transmission among vulnerable populations.
Sick Visits
We offer prompt evaluation and treatment for children with acute illnesses or injuries. Our same-day appointment system accommodates urgent medical needs during regular office hours, while our emergency coverage ensures after-hours access to medical advice. We manage common childhood illnesses and determine appropriate care settings when specialized treatment is required.

Our comprehensive newborn care includes hospital visits, post-discharge follow-ups, and feeding guidance for new parents. We monitor early development milestones, provide jaundice assessments, and offer practical advice about infant nutrition and safety practices.

The staff are nice, however my daughter was tested for Covid at their office. I waited 3 days for results only for them to tell me quest lost the results. To make matters worse Dr. Chu's response was its not my fault you have to deal with Quest, and that Quest has done this many times. I can not believe that is the doctors response when we are still going through a pandemic. As a business owner i could never just tell my client you deal with it.
If Quest cant manage specimens it is the last offices job to find some other lab that handles specimens with more importance. I am truly disappointed with his response and will now have to find another pediatrician that actually cares about his patients and reputation.

The staff is amazing! The front desk associates were helpful, welcoming and very professional. The healthcare assistants were informative, fast and thorough. The Doctors were very friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone answered all of our questions and explained everything that was going on. My kids had amazing experiences (they even got shots) and as a family we definitely recommend East Haven Pediatrics.

THEY ARE AMAZING! The ladies at the front are so sweet and they get things fast! Ms. Cindy is THE DAMN BOMB! They saved both my children's lives. No matter where I move to, I would NEVER change Pediatrics. They should receive an award for their outstanding medical service. I love them all so much! I consider them apart of my family. If you need an attentive pediatric medical staff that actually cares about the well being of your children and are not in it for the $$$ THIS IS THE PLACE.
I WISH I COULD GIVE THEM 10 STARS. THANK YOU EAST HAVEN PEDIATRICS FOR YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE TO MY FAMILY. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE TO KEEP MY BABIES HEALTHY! YOU ALL ROCK!

The front desk refused to schedule an appointment because i was showing frustration with her over not helping me find my daughter medical info. she is on moms healthcare plan and, mom will not provide the information. Told them my daughter is pooping small amount of blood and im concerned shes only 4. I said can you please bill me and i will collect the policy information.they told me no its not our problem. i told her set the appointment tomorrow with an attitude. obviously im going to be angry when talking, if my kids sick.
The secretary said (i am not the one) i said im not the one either ( Set the appointment). she procceded to tell me if my daughter was not here she would curse me out right now! I told her set the appointment again and again with no words in between. after i said set the appointment five time. she slammed the glass in my face and refused to set the appointment for my daughter.
