Orangetown Pediatric Associates
We have a robust medical team consisting of doctors, nurse practitioners, a physician assistant, a lactation consultant, a dietician, a social worker, nurses, scribes, and medical assistants. We do our best to provide a range of services under the Orangetown Pediatrics roof, however, we are affiliated with most of the pediatric sub-specialists at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in Westchester for more complicated care.
We received our Patient-Centered Medical Home designation, and we work hard to provide comprehensive medical and mental health care. We do rapid in-house lab testing for Strep, Influenza, and RSV. We do finger prick hemoglobin, lead, cholesterol, and glucose testing. For send out labs, our nurses and MA’s draw blood in the office.
COVID-19 Testing Site
Our office is pleased to offer our patients rapid COVID-19 testing with same day results.

Telemedicine provides an alternative tool to evaluate patients, allowing BCHP providers to consult and care for patients remotely using video-conferencing technology. Our providers are now only a phone call (or video chat) away!

We now offer concussion testing at Orangetown Pediatrics for children ages 10 and older. We use a program called ImPACT (Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test), a neurocognitive test to help guide concussion care.
The first step is to get a baseline test, which takes about 20-25 minutes. This test evaluates verbal and visual memory, processing speed and reaction time. If your child has an injury, we use this baseline reading to evaluate the extent of the injury and make return-to-play recommendations. Some of the local high schools offer baseline testing for varsity athletes, but we recommend a baseline test for all children ages 10 or older who play sports.
Call our office if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment.
