We are tough New Englanders, but this storm is going to be a doozy, posing safety risks for travel. For the safety of our patients and staff, Central Pediatrics will be closed Monday, Feb 23rd. If you have a true medical emergency, one of our doctors will be available by phone to guide you. Otherwise, we’ll be back in the office on Tuesday. Safe safe and warm, and enjoy the snow day!

Due to the impending weather, our office will open Monday at 10:45 a.m. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you then.
