Comprehensive Pediatric Care
Hello! Welcome to our practice. We look forward to providing you with personalized comprehensive healthcare focusing on wellness and prevention. As continuity and coordination of patient care is essential in meeting your healthcare needs, our physicians, nurses, and office staff work closely in a “team approach” to support your patient care. Our practice uses evidence-based care and follow guidelines and recommendations provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
​
Raising a child is a wonderful adventure. Raising a healthy child involves a partnership between the child’s parents and his or her pediatrician. We can do it together!
Dr. Landis and Dr. Schofield opened the doors of Arlington Pediatrics in January of 2004 with a vision to serve the community and help families raise healthy children. Arlington Pediatric Associates' continued commitment to providing comprehensive and individualized care has led to the additions of Dr. Zeman in 2010, Dr. Yantosca in 2017, a Pediatric nurse practitioner and lactation consultant Meg Guimond in 2019, Dr. Pisarik in 2020, pediatric nurse practitioner Sarah Jackel in 2022, Dr. Tepler in 2023, and nurse practitioner Jenny Schwartz in 2024. Behavioral health consultant Jenn Hatalla, and nutritionist Riley Prichard joined the team in 2022. The mission of Arlington Pediatrics is to provide patients with a balance of innovative access to their care and the compassion of a small town medical office. The practice always aims to provide families with an exceptional patient experience.

Seasonal Vaccine Updates
​It's that time of year again!
Influenza:
Flu clinics are open! Please schedule flu vaccine visits online using your child's MyChart; there are dates from September through November. If your child has an upcoming well visit or consult during this timeframe, you may get the vaccine at that appointment and there is no need to schedule a separate vaccine appointment.
COVID-19:
We are still awaiting guidance about availability of the 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine and will share updates as soon as more information is available. If the vaccine becomes available and you already have an upcoming appointment scheduled, your child will be able to get it at that time instead.
RSV:
For babies under 8 months old, the RSV antibody injection (Beyfortus) will be available starting in early October. It can be administered with other vaccines and can be done at a vaccine clinic appointment, an upcoming well visit, or consult if already scheduled. Some children over 8 months old with chronic health conditions can qualify for the injection as well. Please reach out or see the AAP Beyfortus recommendations for questions.
Please schedule all vaccine clinic appointments through MyChart. If you have any difficulties with scheduling, please call the office at 781-641-5800 and we will assist you.
How to schedule in MyChart:
1. Log into MyChart
2. Select "Schedule an appointment"
3. Select "Flu Vaccine"
4. Answer preliminary questions
5. Select appointment date and time
Thank you,

"Hi there! My name is Jenny and I am thrilled to be joining Arlington Pediatrics this winter. I have been working in pediatrics since 2017, first as a medical assistant, then as a registered nurse, and now as a nurse practitioner. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, gardening, spending time with family and friends, and being a cat mom. I look forward to caring for you and your family!"
