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, and Dr. Tepler in 2023. 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.

Jennifer Schwartz PNP, CLC will be joining the team as a pediatric nurse practitioner and lactation consultant. She received her BS from Fairfield University in 2018, her RN degree from Yale in 2020 and her MSN in Pediatric Primary Care in 2022. Here's a message from her!
​
"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!"

September 2023
Starting Tuesday 9/5/2023 Arlington Pediatric Associates will be bringing back our drop-in urgent care time in the morning. This was a service that we provided pre-pandemic and we're excited to bring it back! Patients are welcome to drop by the office between 8am-8:45am Monday through Friday for urgent appointments for acute illnesses or injuries. Please do not walk-in on the weekends without a scheduled appointment. Patients will be seen on a first come first serve basis by the next available provider - no provider requests are permitted. We ask that you do not use this time for chronic issues, follow-up visits, or to see your primary care physician (we may ask you to reschedule if this happens). If you are wondering if our urgent care time is appropriate for your concern, please give the office a call and we are happy to help!
