CARING FOR YOUR CHILDERN
WITH COMFORT AND COMPASSION

Serving Bergen and Rockland Counties since 2001

Our Mission

As a parent, you know that nothing is more important than the health and well-being of your child. The staff at Live Well Pediatrics feels the same way.

A Trusting Bond

Personalized Approach

As no two children are alike, our pediatric practice offers a personalized approach that focuses on the unique health care needs of each patient. At Live Well Pediatrics our goal is to establish a trusting bond between a child’s family and the pediatric primary care team who oversees the child’s health and well-being within a community-based setting.

Health and Well-being

Multi-phase Care

Uninterrupted developmental, preventative, and acute and chronic sick care are provided from birth through transition to adulthood. A medical home is like an old-style family doctor’s office, but with a whole team of professionals. Together, we can make the most of modern medical knowledge and technology to provide excellent and comprehensive care to assure our patients grow and stay healthy through each and every stage of their lives with us.

Our Mission

Birth to adulthood

From newborn wellness appointments to school sports eligibility exams to college physicals, our doctors, nurses and office staff will serve your family’s health care needs throughout the growing years with compassionate, high-quality health care.

Well Child Visits

Wellness Exams from Birth
through Young Adulthood

One of the events we look most forward to at Live Well Pediatrics is the well child visit. Not only is it a great time to talk about any concerns you may have, it also allows us the chance to get to know your child more thoroughly. During the visit, we encourage you to ask any and all questions you have about your child’s growth, nutrition, development, behavior and general all around health.
