Pediatric Services at CHDC

Healthy Newborns, Happy Babies

Start your child's life on the right foot by providing him or her with good pediatric healthcare. Tracking your baby's height and weight ensures he or she is growing at the proper rate. Getting proper vaccinations prevents unwanted diseases and illness. Every aspect of health is essential to your baby's development into a healthy and strong child, then adult. CHDC's pediatrics team is here to walk the path with new and experienced parents and their children.

Pediatrics | Healthcare for Kids

As kids grow up, their health contributes to their physical, mental, and emotional development. Providing the right healthcare will contribute to better health and a better life. Our pediatric providers monitor their health with regular checkups to make sure their bodies and minds are growing as planned. We provide special services that children need, including sports physicals, school physicals, and vaccinations.

With our Open Access Program, we also account for those sick days, providing same-day appointments when you need them most. Call to learn more.

More Care, Less Appointments

Doctors appointments, dentist appointments, getting a new pair of glasses... time spent visiting doctor and dentist offices adds up. Your child might have to miss school just to get a checkup. You might have to take off work. Other doctor and dentist offices might not be able to schedule your 10-year-old and 12-year-old on the same day.

At CHDC, we offer integrated appointments. Integrated appointments are special bookings, where you can book your children's doctor, dentist -- and whatever other appointments they need -- back-to-back, same-day.

Our Patients Say It Best!

"My granddaughter saw Dr Williamson for the first time recently. He immediately put her at ease and she felt comfortable with him. She really loved him and told me so. I was impressed with him as well. He carefully guided me through an important decision I had to make by patiently answering all my questions and addressing my concerns. I am very grateful he is her doctor!!!!

- Patient D.T.

"I ended up here after learning my PCP was temporarily not taking any new patients, and I had just had a baby. I called so many places, and most were not accepting new patients or not accepting new patients with our insurance. We were able to get in here right away. We have never had to wait long in the waiting area. My daughter's provider, Sarah, is very nice, caring and thorough. All of the staff members have been friendly and remember us each time we go for a visit. They schedule the next appointment during the visit, so it's already done. They have a portal that is easy to use. We will ultimately be switching back to our regular PCP, but I would definitely recommend this office to family and friends."

- Patient L.S.

"Very friendly staff! Would recommend them with 5 stars every day! Receptionist went out of her way to call my daughter's doctor to get the paperwork that was needed, and it saved me time and frustration of being on hold. Great experience!"

- Patient C.G.

"I love Community Health and Dental Care! Convenient locations and wonderful staff!! The dentists and hygienist are exceptional! They work wonders with my developmentally challenged granddaughter and myself."

- Patient D.P.

"Everyone was extremely welcoming with my daughter I was very pleased with how she was treated."

- Patient A.Y.

"My son has been coming here since he was a toddler, and Beth has always been so good with him. She interacts with him in a way that keeps him calm and is always so gentle with him. Thank you, Beth!"

- Patient L.D.

"Today I took my 13-year-old autistic grandson for a filling. He was apprehensive since this was the first filing done by CH-CD in Sanatoga and always had Laughing Gas. Since this was not an option Dr. Steven Lubin and his assistant went out of their way the thoroughly explain to my child what he would feel and happen. They had him wearing cool gloves, glasses and hold the mirror. THANK YOU Dr. Lubin and team for easing an autistic child through what could have been a stressful situation!! Highly recommend this group!"

- Patient P.S.

"My son sees Beth every six months and he’s always excited to see her! She doesn’t even have to call his name, he sits and waits for her and when he sees her, he’s ready! She makes it fun and entertaining! She takes amazing care of his teeth and is always very thorough. We are so thankful for her making the dentist a fun place to go! We can’t say enough good things about her!"

- Patient J.E.

"Had a wonderful experience taking my 5-year-old for her first check-up. My daughter, like most kids, was scared of the unknown and she left looking forward to her next appointment. Dr. Lubin and Miss Beth were awesome!!!"

- Patient V.G.
