We see Dr. Cartieri at AHN in fox chapel.

CCP locations are tied with Children’s Hospital and you can use the MyUPMC app to access your child’s account and message with doctors. I would highly recommend if there’s one near you!

Kids Plus Pediatrics! I see you are in Castle Shannon, they have an office in Pleasant Hills right off 51. They also have a breastfeeding center combined at that location. If that's something you planned on, we went to the breastfeeding center scheduled with our LO’s first appointments, it was indispensable. Also I didn't know this at first but there is also a nurse you can talk to 24/7 I think most pediatricians have this. First night home we had questions and didn't know we could call them. We've been seeing the same Dr since our daughter’s first appt, now she's 3yo. Our Dr also was a patient here when she was a kid ❤️

They came and visited us in the hospital after giving birth (idk if all do that, gave birth at Magee Womens Hospital) They also have other locations, and they have a different off day. I know one in Squirrel Hill - we had to go there once for an emergency (ended up being hand foot and mouth 🙄) since our location was closed that day.

Like Amanda said, I would also recommend Kids+ pediatrics! When my baby was born we used to live in West View and we went to the cranberry office, we still go there (even if we now live in Castle Shannon) as we love his pediatrician. But we have been to the Pleasant Hills offices and they are great also. They have walk-ins and some offices do have after hours and are opened Saturday and Sunday mornings (certain locations) but I would 100% recommend them.

Pittsburgh pediatrics in Wexford they also have an office on centre avenue

I second Mina’s recommendation, and highly recommend Dr. Douglas Stewart at that practice. That being said, you want to choose an office that is CLOSE to your house. You’re going to be there all the time for the next 18 years haha. Better to have convenience than the perfect doc.
