Covid-19 – Information, Local Testing Update, and Resources.

From all of our doctors and staff at New Canaan Pediatrics we would first like to thank you for your patience and understanding during a difficult and unprecedented time.  Many of our families have reached out to us for information and guidance.  This is new territory and we want to help you navigate it as best we can through education about the virus and information about testing. Unfortunately, we do not have any information regarding the distribution of the vaccine to our patients, but will let you know as soon as we know.

Request a Test

If your child is traveling in the near future or has been exposed to someone that tested positive and you want him/her to get tested, please call the office to schedule an        in-office test. For the safety of everyone, we are only testing at specific/scheduled time slots. If those times don’t fit your schedule or we can’t fit you in as quickly as you would like, please select a test site from below and call the office to request a referral. Give the reason for the request and the selected test site.

If your child is showing any symptoms that cause you concern and you are considering testing, please call the office and schedule a Telehealth visit,
call 203-972-4250.
