Our Story

A practice built around your family.

For three decades, Healthy Children Pediatrics has been a steady, familiar presence for parents in Middlebury and the surrounding Naugatuck Valley. We built our practice around a simple idea: every child deserves a doctor who knows their whole story β€” not just their chart.

As a patient-centered medical home, we coordinate every part of your child's care, from their very first newborn check to the questions that come with growing up. Same-week sick visits. Real conversations. No revolving door of providers.

  • πŸ’™
    Compassionate first

    Every visit starts with listening, not a stopwatch.

  • 🩺
    Modern, evidence-based care

    Guided by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

  • 🀝
    A true partnership

    You know your child best β€” we build the plan together.

Dr. Ezzat Hafez, MD

Board-Certified Pediatrician · Founder, Healthy Children Pediatrics

Dr. Hafez founded Healthy Children Pediatrics with a mission to give Middlebury families the kind of unhurried, personal care that's increasingly rare in medicine today. Parents know him for taking the time to actually answer questions β€” and for remembering their kids by name, not chart number.

He works alongside a close-knit clinical team to make sure every child, from newborn to teenager, gets care that's thorough, current, and genuinely kind.
