We are currently offering Telehealth visits for our sick patients! Please contact our office for more information! Our staff is here to treat your children and in many cases you may not even have to leave your home

Good Afternoon! Please read the following information carefully: We will be scheduling Well Child Visits during our morning office hours only to minimize any possible exposure to the COVID-19. This allows us to ensure your child is seen for preventive care and timely immunizations. Your child will be screened by our clinical staff during scheduling of the well check for possible COVID-19 symptoms or exposure to COVID-19. We kindly request that only one healthy adult accompa...ny your child to their visit. We also will only be seeing two children per well child check at this time. It is essential that you and your child/children are not experiencing any sickness at this time when coming in for Well Child Check. NO fever, cough, runny nose, congestion, vomiting or diarrhea. If your child is sick, please call our office to speak with a nurse BEFORE coming to our office! We will be seeing all sick children in afternoon office hours or through Telemedicine via Video or Telephone Appointment. All evening in-office hours are temporarily cancelled. We will be implementing Telemedicine evening hours in the place of in-office evening hours. More information to come soon on Telemedicine. We urge you to sign up for our Patient Portal today! Please call our office for more information. We recognize the this is a challenging time for all of us and we are here to help meet the health and wellness needs of your children as best as we can and we strive to protect your family and our Buffalo Peds Staff. We will update any changes on our website, Facebook page, and through the Patient Portal. Be Well, Be Kind, Do Good

To our Buffalo Peds family: Both of our offices are open and able to care for your children throughout this coronavirus pandemic. In an effort to protect our patients, their families and our staff, we have implemented some temporary changes within the offices. Currently, the CDC recommends social distancing as the best protection against community transmission of the coronavirus. If your child is ill, advise the nurse scheduling the appointment if you are able to wait to be... seen in your vehicle. Upon arrival, please call the office and check-in for the appointment by phone. The nurses will then call/text you when a room is ready for your child. You and your child will bypass the waiting room. *If this is not an available option for you, you will find less chairs in the waiting room to optimize spacing and staff will make every effort to lessen the time spent waiting there. If anyone (parents/siblings) attending your child’s appointment is sick, please call to advise the nurses prior to your arrival. At this time we do NOT have the ability to test for Covid-19 (coronavirus). Testing is being coordinated by the Dept of Health. Erie County Department of Health (716) 858-2929 Line is open Monday-Friday 9am-9pm New York State Dept. of Health 1-888-364-3065 Thank you, Buffalo Pediatric Associates

Our offices will be closed this afternoon! As always we will have our physician on call if any situation arises!
