WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL
At Children’s Medical Group we take pride in our ability to keep your child out of the Emergency Room/Urgent Care. We are a complete medical home and are able to take care of all urgencies such as MRSA abscesses, wound suturing, and other minor injuries in our office.
​
What makes us different from the everyday pediatric practice is that our providers have the training, knowledge, and skill to look after more complex conditions "in house" - such as asthma, acne, atopic dermatitis/eczema, seizures, mood/emotional problems and ADHD, genetic conditions such as Down syndrome and sickle cell disease, and many other common and not-so-common pediatric problems.
​
This AVOIDS our patients needing to travel over the bridge, missing work/school and incurring unnecessary costs.
​
If the unique complexity of the condition requires it we will arrange for your child to see the most nationally reputed specialists with the latest research in that area/ disease.
And even in the 21st century, real people still answer our phones!
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
OUR GOAL IS TO GIVE YOUR CHILD THE BEST CARE POSSIBLE.
​Out of hours, we are available for urgencies via Teams “video visits” between 9am-10pm. Open up Teams and send us a chat (sign up using your personal email)- Our Teams Email is CMG217@COMCAST.NET. Please include your child's Name, D.O.B and symptoms in the chat. The doctor will contact you through the Teams app. Wait 15-20 mins if you don't hear anything please try to video call. If you do not get a response within 15 mins, please call the office 410-546-3173 and press “1” to get the answering service they will contact the doctor on call.
​
​
CALL 911 IN CASE OF TRUE LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY.
Otherwise, don’t go to the ER or Urgent Care- call your pediatrician!
