Pittsford Pediatrics Associates

~Over 50 Years of Caring for Children~

~May 25th is National Missing Children's Day~ Every year nearly 800,000 children are reported as missing to law enforcement. Of these, 58,000 are the victims of non-family abductions. This day serves as an opportunity to make child safety a national priority. The Take 25 campaign from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children focuses on prevention and offers free safety tips and conversation starters, and can be contacted at www.take25.org.

~We are pleased to have a Certified Lactation Consultant on staff for all your lactation questions and concerns. We are also one of the few practices that will see your newborn in the hospital. Let the hospital know your pediatrician choice, and they will contact us when your baby is born. Your doctor (or the doctor on call from our practice if necessary) will be in to see your baby usually within 24-36 hours.

~Please call our office to schedule spring well visit appointments. The schedule is currently available through the month of June. A general rule is to schedule well visits near your child's birthday month for children 3 years of age and older.

~We offer same day sick appointments! Please call us directly if your child is ill and you would like to have your child seen. We will be happy to schedule an appointment for the same day you call.

~We require 5-7 business days for all forms needing completion for camps, sports, school, etc. If you would like your forms returned by mail please include a self-addressed stamped envelope and they will be mailed back. Forms should be ready for pick up in approximately 5-7 days after they are received. Due to the large volume and limited staff available, we are currently unable to return forms via fax.

Pittsford Pediatrics located at 59B Monroe Avenue, Pittsford, was started in 1960. Dr. Rufus S. Bynum first opened his practice at 10 North Main Street. He was joined shortly by Dr. Donald M. Eldredge and the practice moved to 19 State Street (the previously yellow house across from the Pittsford Library). In the late 60's Dr. Bernard Gross joined the practice. These three doctors were Pittsford Pediatric Associates for over 20 years, moving the practice to our present location in 1985. Dr. Matteo LoPreiato joined the practice in the early 1990's and remained a central part of the practice until he moved back to his hometown in Connecticut in 2005. Today, Dr. Hahn, Dr. Sengupta, Dr. Goldberg and Dr. Topa continue the tradition of community based pediatrics that started over 50 years ago. Welcome to Pittsford Pediatrics!
