Pediatric Medical Care, Inc. (PMCI)
is a small pediatric  practice located in Chelsea, MA dedicated to the care of children from birth to 22 years of age.  Our pediatricians are committed to providing a "medical home" and developing a trusting and interactive relationship with both your child and your family.  We provide well-child exams,  where we are able to monitor your child's physical  as well as developmental and emotional growth, same-day sick visits, consultative visits for more long-term concerns, and gynecological care for our adolescents.  Our strong affiliation with Boston Children's Hospital makes top-ranked specialty, surgical and diagnostic care available to our patients in downtown Boston as well as in surrounding communities.   

 Updated COVID restrictions:
       In order to maintain a safer setting for our patients and staff, we will no longer be able to accommodate Walk-in visits so that we appropriately screen all patients and family members who enter the building. 
       Each child with a scheduled appointment may be accompanied by at most one guardian and no siblings (unless the also have an appointment). We are again able to see all patients in the office regardless of symptoms, but patients who fail COVID screening may only be seen at the end of the day. 
 
  We STRONGLY encourage all families sign up for our MYCHART patient portal as to have access to our newly available telehealth medical appointments. Download the app to your phone or tablet and choose the organization "PPOC"

Resumption of expanded weekday hours:
The office will again be open until 6:30 on tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursdays

COVID Vaccination:
      Due to the storage requirement for the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, a practice of our size is not currently able to offer COVID-19 vaccination. We direct any patients seeking vaccinations to VaccineSignUp.mass.gov to preregister for available vaccine time slots.
