We could’ve sworn the Winter Olympics ended… but apparently not. 🥶❄️

With the ice on these roads, Rich, Danielle, Kayla, Serena, and Arny are dusting off the office bobsled and making a run for it! 🛷🇺🇸

If all goes well, we’ll be adding a 13th gold medal to Team USA before lunch. 🥇

Until our athletes safely cross the finish line, we’ll be operating on a 2-hour delay.
The office will open at 10:00 AM.

Stay safe. Take it slow.
And if you see a our bobsled flying down the road… mind your business. 😂🚦

🎉 Big News From Our Office! 🎉

Since our announcement, our practice has grown by nearly 20% 🤯 and we are so incredibly grateful.

Because of this amazing growth, we will be pausing all transfer requests for now. We want to make sure we’re operating smoothly and continuing to give every family the attention and care they deserve ❤️

✨ The good news?
We are still welcoming first-time parents! So if you know anyone with a little bun in the oven 🤰🍼 send them our way, we’d be honored to care for their newest tiny human.

To our families, thank you. Truly.
Your kind words and referrals mean everything to us 🙏

We are so excited to welcome all of our new patients and continue building something special together 💙

📜 Hear Ye, Hear Ye! A Second Proclamation! 📜

Word has reached the kingdom that the valiant warriors of Connecticut Department of Transportation have fought bravely… yet Winter Storm Calvin hath claimed the upper hand.

The roads remain treacherous. The winds still howl. And thus, the gates of our noble pediatric castle shall remain closed on Tuesday as well.

We shall regroup. We shall rebuild. We shall return stronger when the realm is safe for travel once more.

In other news from the royal court, a smaller but persistent skirmish continues between King Richard and his most troublesome foe… The Flue. The battle rages on, though spirits remain high.

We thank thee for thy patience and loyalty during these frosty times.

Until we gather again, keep watch over thy little knights, bundle them well, and guard their giggles as the kingdom weathers the storm.

📜 Hear Ye, Hear Ye! 📜

Let it be known throughout the land that our noble pediatric kingdom shall be closed on Monday due to the mighty storm approaching our fair village.

For the safety of our loyal families and brave staff, the castle gates shall remain shut for the day.

Should urgent matters arise, thou may call our office and follow the prompts for assistance.

We shall reopen once the skies clear and the winds rest.

Stay warm. Stay safe. Guard thy little knights well. ⚔️🌧️

A post from our beloved Dr. Rich

When experience leads to wisdom, wisdom leads to grace.

Grace allows the presence of the owl.

Only when you’ve lived enough, learned enough, and calmed enough
can true wisdom appear.

The owl doesn’t arrive in chaos.
It shows up when you’re ready to see clearly in the dark.

🌟 Patient Spotlight 🌟

I’d be completely lost without my trusted partner, Thomas Wetherell.

Fresh off possibly the biggest flu shot of his life.
Bravely treated with a “Megalodon Banan-daid” for the boo-boo. 🦈🍌

After such a heroic encounter, he still had it in him to help me on the phones before heading out.

True dedication.
True teamwork.
Absolute legend. 💪

And yes "Banan-daid" was in his own words. Cutest thing ever!!!!!!

🚨 MISSING 🚨
Last seen in our office.
Much loved.
Very missed.

These toys were left behind and are waiting for their families.
If one of them belongs to your child, please let us know or stop by the front desk.

Let’s get these friends home. 🧸🧩

Today, our pediatric office was graced by a hero.
A warrior.
A tiny, masked bandit with the heart of a lion and the diet of a dumpster.

At approximately 10:14 AM, a raccoon, whom we shall simply call Rocky, stormed the premises with confidence, ambition, and zero respect for human schedules. He marched through our parking lot like he owned the place. He paused. He stared into our souls. He considered filing for residency.

DEEP arrived soon after.
And for 2 minutes and 30 seconds…
We witnessed a battle of legends.

Rocky charged.
DEEP countered.
Rocky juked left.
DEEP adjusted.
Rocky paused to reconsider life choices.
DEEP did not.

It was a glorious dance.
A showdown of wills.
A Shakespearean clash between government authority and a furry creature who probably hadn’t slept in three days.

In the end, DEEP emerged victorious, escorting our mighty friend off the premises.
But his spirit?
Untamed.
Unbroken.
Probably still hungry.

He is survived by the office staff, several terrified squirrels, and one very confused UPS driver.

Fly high, noble raccoon.
May the dumpsters be full and the traffic light.
