The physicians at Wheatfield Pediatrics specialize in the care of children from birth to age 22. 

Our physicians, nurses and office staff are committed to providing the best possible medical care for your child in a professional, yet caring and compassionate manner.

We encourage the development of healthy lifestyles in our young patients. We perform well-child examinations and immunizations in accordance with the schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. In addition, other services we offer within the practice are two lactation consultants to assist nursing mothers and two licensed mental health counselors for any mental health needs.   

Of course no one plans to have a sick child; therefore we are usually able to schedule you a "same-day" sick appointment. If you must cancel an appointment, please notify us at least 24 hours in advance. A $30.00 service fee will be charged for all no-show appointments. Please make every effort to be on time for appointments; we will also try to see you for your appointment promptly.

Prescription refills should be requested during regular office hours. Refill requests received after 5:00 pm Monday - Friday or on the weekend will not be refilled until the next regular business day. 

In addition to our usual daytime hours, we also offer evening and Saturday morning hours. We encourage patients to schedule regular check ups in advance. There are various times during the year where there is a rush of requests for school physicals and sports clearance examinations. Please make sure you do not find yourself in a position, which the child cannot return to school or sports because of medical clearance. We try our best to accommodate all requests, but sometimes it may be impossible.  In the event of an emergency during hours that the office is not open, please call our main telephone number and you will be directed to our answering service who will either direct you to the provider on-call or our after hour nursing triage service through Night Nurse so you may discuss your concerns. Unless you feel your child's illness may be life threatening, we encourage parents to call us prior to seeking Emergency Room treatment so we can coordinate your care.

The doctors at Wheatfield Pediatrics have a hospital affiliation at John Oishei Children's Hospital of Buffalo. Should your child require more specialized care than our office can provide, we work closely with many of the various specialists and pediatric facilities throughout Western New York.
