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.

Seeing children and parents at regular intervals is important in maintaining your child’s health. Evaluating growth and development, discussing safety, nutrition, behavior and answering age related questions are the functions of well child/adolescent visits. We encourage the following schedule of visits; (the ages mentioned are approximate):
- Hospital Newborn Exam
- Within 1-2 weeks of age

- 6 months
- 9 months

- Yearly visits ages 2-6 years
- After age 6, yearly or alternate years.
During some of these visits, immunizations will be given and routine laboratory tests may be done.
Vision and hearing tests are also given regularly. We encourage advance scheduling of well childcare. For infants, please schedule your next check up at the end of your visit. Otherwise, we suggest you call 6-8 weeks ahead of the time you wish to be seen.
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.
There is always a doctor or nurse practioner from this office on call when our office is closed. If you need to speak with the on call doctor, please call the office and listen to the entire message. You will then obtain the phone number or pager number for the on call doctor. This message changes daily. There is a $15.00 charge for after hour calls.
