East Side Pediatrics will have shortened hours during the week of April 15 through April 19..  Please call early for same-day sick visits or urgent concerns.  Phone lines open at 8am.

East Side Pediatrics, on Providence's historic College Hill, is a primary care pediatric office caring for children from birth to 21 years old.  We are a NCQA-certified Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) providing comprehensive and coordinated care that focuses on families.

Our doctors are members of the American Academy of Pediatrics and are board-certified by the American Board of Pediatrics. Academic rigor keeps our doctors from having stagnant medical knowledge.

Knowledge is not enough, though. Our providers understand the importance of bedside manner. We always consider things from both a doctor's and parent's perspective. We love taking care of children and treat patients as if taking care of our own.

After Hours

• when we are not in the office there is always one of us on call.  we also use an overnight nurse triage service. the doctor on call and the nurse triage service are both accessed by calling our main office number @ 401-383-4411.
• With this recent surge in community illness, many medical systems, including our answering service and nurse triage service, are deeply impacted by increased call volume.  call 911 if you think you are or may be experiencing an emergency.  For more routine calls, our answering service taking the message and our MDs and nurse triage service will get back to you as soon as possible..
• Please note that our overnight nurse triage service does not have access to patient records, so they can not send referrals, or orders for testing, can not schedule vaccine appointments or office visits, and do not have access to test results.
• For patients needing in-person evaluation when we are unavailable we recommend JustKidsRI, a pediatric-specific urgent care in Cumberland, Rhode Island, and the Hasbro Children's Hospital emergency department in Providence.
