Pediatrics

The Mass General Brigham Center for Human Genetics, working in collaboration with the National Birth Defects Center, operates an outpatient clinic and provides inpatient consultations at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. The clinic will be located on the hospital’s sixth floor pediatric wing and will be open every other week. The focus will be on the diagnosis and management of children and adults with known or suspected genetic disorders, congenital anomaly syndromes, and inborn errors of metabolism.

If you would like to refer a patient, schedule an appointment, or request additional information, please call 617-525-5750.

The Pediatric Neurology service at Newton-Wellesley Hospital evaluates diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract occurring in infants, children, and adolescents. These conditions include hematuria, proteinuria, urinary tract infections, congenital renal diseases, enuresis and voiding problems, kidney stones, and hypertension.

Newton-Wellesley pediatric patients requiring renal replacement therapy benefit from our close working relationship with the Division of Transplant Surgery and the Dialysis Unit at Massachusetts General, which evaluates and treats chronic renal failure and end-stage renal disease.

Mass General for Children pediatric neurologists treat children with seizure disorders, developmental delay, chronic headaches, attention and learning disorders, metabolic, and genetic disorders.

These problems are often complex and may involve multiple physical and emotional factors.

If your child has an orthopedic issue, we are here to help. Working closely with the Mass General for Children Orthopedics Service, we provide clinical care to infants, children and adolescents, from birth to college age, for the entire spectrum of musculoskeletal problems.
