Pediatric Partners has been making all the needed preparations for the COVID19 vaccinations. We are registered with the State Health Department and ready to administer when available! However, we anticipate that it might be several months before the vaccine is available for pediatric offices. Currently the Pfizer vaccine is approved for ages 16 and up. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are approved for ages 18 and up. If you are interested in receiving updates from our offices about COVID19 or the vaccine, you can call our office to register for our email list.

WE ARE NOW ABLE TO SWAB FOR COVID!! A TELEMED VISIT MUST BE DONE FIRST. IF THE DOCTOR WANTS TO TEST FOR COVID, A SAME DAY APPOINTMENT WITH A MEDICAL ASSISTANT WILL BE SCHEDULED. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE.

*Please Note: We are offering both telemedicine and in person appointments for our patients. For the safety of our staff and other families, some visits will need to start as a telemedicine appointment to assess what can safely be done in our office.

*We are accepting New Patients up to age 22. We accept a broad range of insurances, including Medicaid.

We are changing a few things to ensure that the patients, staff and providers stay safe and healthy. All well visits are being scheduled in the morning, early afternoon, and evening and only well children will be allowed in the office during those times. If your child is scheduled for a well visit and is now sick, please call the office before coming for the appointment.

Please limit the amount of people accompanying your child to the office.

In person sick visits will be scheduled for the late afternoon.

Telemedicine visits can be scheduled throughout the day.

All calls concerning signs, symptoms and treatment of COVID19 will be handled by a telemedicine appointment with one of our providers.

When you arrive for your appointment, please call the office before you come in.

We are asking that 1 parent/guardian per child enters the office, except babies 12 months and younger may have 2 parents. Additional adults and children will be asked to wait in the car.

The adult who comes in the office is welcome to call / face time the other parent during the visit.

Siblings may accompany if no other child care is available. Everyone that enters will have their temperature taken.

The adult who comes to the office is welcome to call / face time the other parent during the visit.

Everyone age 2 and up that enters must be wearing a mask.

The mask must cover the nose and mouth.

Masks with an exhalation valve are not allowed in the office as they do not provide source control.

The masks must remain in place the entire time you are in the office, including the time spent in the exam room.

We truly appreciate everyone's cooperation as we work diligently to provide the safest environment for your family and our staff!!!

Pediatric Partners strongly supports the American Academy of Pediatrics' schedule recommendations for routine childhood immunizations.

This practice does not accept or advocate for parents that refuse to immunize their children.

Pediatric Partners’ Towson practice traces its roots back to the first Board-certified pediatric practice in Baltimore County, which was started by Dr. Clewell Howell in 1928. The practice thrived in an old house at the corner of Washington and Allegheny Avenues until 1988. Through several moves to larger offices, and the addition of new, Board-certified pediatricians to the practice, much has changed in the over 80 years that our physicians have been taking care of Baltimore’s children. Two things that have not changed are the level of personal attention we give to our patients and the high quality of care we offer from our physicians and professional staff.

We have been recognized by the Towson Times, Towson Magazine and Baltimore Magazine as among the best physicians and pediatric offices in the region. We have five pediatricians, one nurse practitioner, and a full professional staff, who work at our Towson office at 8600 LaSalle Road. With this kind of team, we are able to provide longer office hours, including evening and weekend hours, and 24-hour on-call availability. But, while the size of our practice helps us provide a broader range of service and convenient access, we work with each family to ensure that the children regularly see, and get to know and trust, their own individual pediatrician.

We are currently accepting new patients, from newborn infants through adolescents. We would welcome the opportunity to meet you for a pre-natal or introductory visit.

You never know when your child may become sick. Because of this we schedule same day sick appointments. Just call the office and we will arrange for your child to be seen that day.
