New Patients

Welcome! Whether you are choosing a doctor for a new baby, or are new to the area and are looking for a pediatrician for your family, we hope you enjoy our website. At Willows Pediatrics you will find a true “medical home”. We are well-prepared to assess, diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions and concerns. If your child needs a referral to a specialist outside our office, we have the experience and expertise to help you find the right care, whether it is in our community or in an academic pediatric specialty center. We know how stressful it can be the first time you are coming to a physician’s office with a new baby, or the first time you bring in a child or adolescent who is not used to a new doctor; our goal is to make certain you feel comfortable right from the start.

While our roots are in Westport, Weston, Norwalk, Wilton and Fairfield, we also have long-lasting relationships with families living in Trumbull, Easton, Redding, Rowayton, New Canaan, Darien, Stratford, Bridgeport and many other Connecticut communities.   Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions about our office or getting started with us.
