Insurance update -
Effective January 1st, 2025, Tufts Health Direct will no longer be a plan option for our practice, and we will be out-of-network. If this change affects you, you will be receiving a letter in the mail as well.
Please be advised that this notice applies only to Tufts Health Direct/THPP Health Connector plans. As you may know, the Massachusetts Health Connector open enrollment period begins on November 1, 2024, and continues through January 23, 2025. During this window, patients currently enrolled in Tufts Health Direct can select and enroll in another plan for which we are in-network, if they so choose.
Update to office masking policy:
- All patients and staff with any symptoms must mask
- Even without symptoms, if you are more comfortable masking, you are welcome to do so
- Staff may also mask at their discretion in patient exam rooms

PNW medication and dosing chart
If you have ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) dosing questions, please refer to the chart linked below. As a reminder, children should NOT use aspirin as a fever reducer. Aspirin given to a child with a viral illness can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and even lead to Reye's Syndrome, which is associated with brain damage and liver function problems. Additionally, ibuprofen should only be given to children over 6 months of age. If you ever have questions about the safety of a medication, please let us know.
Gun violence prevention
Gun violence is the leading cause of death in children in the United States of America. This sobering statistic is one that we, as a pediatric practice, cannot ignore.
