Northampton Area Pediatrics has had a discussion with the Department of Public Health. There is one confirmed case of measles in an adult who was at Baystate Medical Center. There have been two children in the Amherst/Northampton area who have had possible measles but the diagnosis is pending.  At this time the Department of Public Health feels it is NOT likely they had measles. As a precaution, we are asking that any child with a fever and or a rash be evaluated. Please CALL and make an appointment and we will make special arrangements. Do NOT use the walk-in time for this.  If your child had had one MMR vaccine it is 95% effective in preventing measles.  

Founded in 1978 by Dr. Peter Kenny, Northampton Area Pediatrics has been serving families in the Pioneer Valley for 35 years.  With two friendly locations, extensive office hours, and an excellent medical staff with eight pediatricians and three nurse practitioners, our practice provides robust, innovative, and family-centric care to infants, children, and adolescents in western Massachusetts.

To help you get acquainted with our practice, we have provided you with important background information about our pediatricians, staff, office hours, appointment procedures, finance policies, maps, directions to our offices, and other useful information.

Our providers believe exceptional care is obtained when there is an on-going relationship between the doctor or nurse practitioner and the patient.  We want to be lifelong partners in your child’s health.  We achieve this goal by listening to your questions and concerns, and educating you on how to promote a healthy lifestyle for the entire family.

We want to thank you for choosing Northampton Area Pediatrics for your child’s medical care.  For questions or to schedule a visit, contact our office today!

Walk In Hours
We have designated 8:00am to 8:30 am Monday through Friday as the "walk-in" time in both of our offices.  If your child becomes ill overnight or his/her condition changes and you would like him/her to be seen, you can come to either of our offices without an appointment and be seen first thing in the morning.
