Pediatric Primary Care

Keeping children healthy is the primary goal of Stony Brook Children's Service's primary care program.

Our general pediatricians provide comprehensive primary care, including routine well and sick care for children from birth through age 21, at multiple Suffolk County locations Our East Islip office is also staffed by physicians who can provide care for your whole family, including adults. Evening and weekend hours are available at all our sites.  

Our practice earned Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). This approach makes your child’s primary care doctor, along with the Medical Home Team, the point around which all care revolves.

We believe PCMH is the best way to organize and deliver primary healthcare because it provides an opportunity for you to develop trusted, long-term relationships with your child’s doctor and team. Your team coordinates services at every point of the healthcare delivery — prevention, hospitalization, specialty care, community services, and supports. This results in more personalized, coordinated, efficient, and, ultimately, effective care.

With a patient-centered medical home approach, all healthcare, both routine and urgent, is highly accessible to you, your child, and your entire family. Good communication is emphasized.

PCMH also takes full advantage of the latest information technology to prescribe, communicate, track test results, obtain clinical support information, and monitor performance. Just as important, you and your family have a whole team that knows you, your child, and your family’s history on your side — not just in treating illness but in supporting lifelong good health.
