About Bayshore Pediatrics
Bayshore Pediatrics features pediatricians who provide compassionate and dedicated medical care for children of all ages. We are affiliated with the pediatric experts of Children’s Wisconsin and can draw upon those resources to provide the highest level of medical care possible. We care for children from Glendale, Whitefish Bay, Fox Point, Bayside, Cedarburg, Mequon, and the greater Milwaukee area.
Children’s Wisconsin is not public testing site for COVID-19. Nationwide access to testing supplies is limited. Children’s is only able to test patients who meet CDC guidelines.
Dedicated to your kids
The pediatricians and staff of Bayshore Pediatrics are dedicated to making your child's development and medical care our priority, and we are an advocate for childhood health in the community. We look forward to providing your children with outstanding medical care that you can trust.
Connected with Children’s
Bayshore Pediatrics carries with it the Children’s name. That means you can take comfort in knowing your child’s doctor is affiliated with one of the top children's hospitals in the nation. Our pediatricians will connect you directly with the best available doctor if your child ever needs to see a specialist at the main hospital. And best of all, Children’s specialists will keep your Bayshore primary care doctor updated on any tests, diagnoses or treatments.

- Vaccine information for parents
- FAQ about immunizations
- Immunization schedules by age (PDF's) (0-6, 7-18, 19+)
