Practice Overview
Our Mission
Medicine has made tremendous progress over the past 25 years. Part of this progress includes new diagnostic tools and new medications to treat illness. Yet many people find that today’s doctors are less involved with the emotional aspects of their patients’ lives. At Chevy Chase Pediatrics, we work hard to keep ourselves updated on the latest medical advances. At the same time, however, we pride ourselves in our ability to take care of the whole child. Each child in our practice has his or her own doctor. This continuity of care enables us to really know our families and to provide excellent care of our patients from birth through adolescence.
We take the time to make every visit as pleasant as possible for patients. Our kids love the LEGO sculptures that fill the office and the CedarWorks playhouse and play kitchen that adorn the waiting room. We know children are often worried about seeing the doctor, especially if they need shots or blood tests. Our nurses use small, plastic shot-blockers to make vaccinations less painful. When indicated, they also use a technique called “tag team shots” whereby two nurses team up to give a child two shots at the same time. This eliminates the anxiety and pain of getting the second shot.
“We pride ourselves in our ability to take care of the whole child.”

Hospital Affiliations
Starting in July 2013, we stopped seeing newborns at area hospitals because our busy schedules prevented us from getting to the hospital in a timely manner. The staff pediatricians at Sibley, Georgetown and other hospitals will supervise your baby’s care after delivery. However, we are very interested in knowing when our new babies are born. Please call the office and let your primary doctor know that you have given birth to your baby. That way we can answer any questions you have during your hospital stay and help coordinate your first visit to the office.
If one of our older patients needs to be hospitalized, the facilities we use most often are Children’s National Medical Center and Georgetown Hospital.
