As New England thaws and spring brings warm sunny days filled with outdoor fun, it also brings bugs—especially ticks! After a long winter, it’s easy to let our guard down—but ticks are already active, and daily tick checks are an important part of keeping your child healthy. 

Reviews From Our Parents

My 2 children have been going to this office their entire lives (10 & 8 years), we absolutely love the doctors and staff! Dr. Fasanello is absolutely amazing, we just love her. Always takes her time with the kids to go over safety and stranger danger as well as answer any  questions. My children feel completely comfortable, I would 100% recommend this office!

Both my children have Dr Fasanello she is awesome with them. My son just turned 18 and still feels totally comfortable with her, we have had her since he was born and it's very hard to get any information out of him so ??to her. Daughter is 11 and she loves her as well. She listens to you makes you and children feel at ease and relaxed just love her best Doctor ever.

My children both teenagers have been receiving their care from Dr. Acker since they were newborns. He's has a gentle demeanor always listening to their concerns as well as mine (the parent's). He is mindful of their privacy and time. He also takes the time to provide support and education. Great practitioner. Highly recommend.

I have taken all three of my children there since they were born. My children have received the utmost care with an emphasis on their whole health. They are always kind, caring, and looking out for the best interest of my children with a smile. I couldn’t ask for more!
