About Midtown Pediatrics
Midtown Pediatrics offers care closer to home for families in Milwaukee. Midtown Pediatrics features pediatricians who provide compassionate and dedicated medical care for children of all ages.. We are connected to the pediatric experts at Children’s Wisconsin and can draw upon those resources to provide the highest level of care possible.
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.
Connected with Children’s
Midtown 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 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+)
