First and foremost, all of us at Roslindale Pediatrics want to thank you all, our families, for bearing with us and continuing to trust us to care for your families during these incredibly difficult times. We are working diligently to ensure we provide the best and safest care for all of our patients. We continue to look at current recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics as well as the Center for Disease Control as we slowly resume in person office visits. It is recommended that we continue scheduling in person well visits for patients that require vaccinations. Thus, our new in office well visit scheduling guidelines are as follows:

At this time, we will continue to ONLY provide well child care in the morning.

All children under the age of 18 months will be seen in our office during the morning hours for well child care.

We will be adding in the following:

Children aged 4 and 11 years can be seen for well visits in our office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the later morning hours.

Additionally, we will be adding in evening appointments for in person visits for our 16 year old patients, as well as those who are college bound. These will be scheduled between 5:30-7:30pm.

We will continue to see sick visits in the office between the hours of 1-5pm. We will continue to offer virtual well visits for children NOT requiring vaccines (those that do not fit into the groups described above), as well as virtual sick visits.

As recommendations and guidelines continue to change, we will continue to update you on what we will be doing at RPA. Thank you for your patience!
