Welcome to Riverside Pediatrics!
Providing outstanding medical care to children and their families in a small & personal setting––since 2003
Riverside Pediatrics is conveniently located across the street from Anna Jaques Hospital, and within blocks of most of Newburyport's public schools. We are able to use the hospital's facilities for blood draws, x-ray department, and inpatient facilities.
We have extensive referral networks. If you need to see a subspecialist, we can refer you to the specialist we think will best meet your child's needs: either locally, within the Merrimack Valley, or into Boston.
We know the Coronavirus pandemic is causing a lot of stress and disruption. Rest assured that we are working closely with state and federal agencies so that we can bring the safest and most appropriate care to your family.
Our nurses and doctors are available by phone to answer questions, give advice, triage your sick child, and help make decisions about face-to-face visits.
In response to the Coronavirus pandemic we have instituted the following changes:
FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE:
- No walk-in appointments
- Universal mask wearing - except for very young children
- Only one parent may accompany a child into the office
- Please do not come into the office if you are sick with fever, cough, or other symptoms that could potentially be COVID, or if you have been exposed to someone with known COVID in the last 15 days.
BEGINNING JUNE 1
We will resume regular office hours, Monday- Friday 8 am-5 pm
Well child physical appointments, vital to ensure that childrens’ growth, development and immunizations are up to date, will begin with new safety measures in place.
These include -
