Our History

We love kids and are passionate about what we do every day: practicing state-of-the-art medicine in an environment dedicated to the health and well-being of your family.

For over 50 years, Willows Pediatric Group has served our community by providing comprehensive and compassionate medical care for infants, children and adolescents. Drawing from decades of experience, we are able to continually add new services and incorporate medical advances in a way that has made us leaders in the practice of pediatrics in our community. Our providers, nurses and staff look forward to getting to know you and your children in our child-friendly office.

Within this site we hope to present an overview of our practice and show you why we are one of Fairfield County’s premier newborn, pediatric and adolescent practices. Here you can find answers to questions you may have about our office and some common medical issues. We will post regular updates here about events and vaccine clinics. We hope you find our website helpful.
