Comprehensive Pediatric Care
Hello! Welcome to our practice. We look forward to providing you with personalized comprehensive healthcare focusing on wellness and prevention. As continuity and coordination of patient care is essential in meeting your healthcare needs, our physicians, nurses, and office staff work closely in a “team approach” to support your patient care. Our practice uses evidence-based care and follow guidelines and recommendations provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
​
Raising a child is a wonderful adventure. Raising a healthy child involves a partnership between the child’s parents and his or her pediatrician. We can do it together!
Dr. Landis and Dr. Schofield opened the doors of Arlington Pediatrics in January of 2004 with a vision to serve the community and help families raise healthy children. Arlington Pediatric Associates' continued commitment to providing comprehensive and individualized care has led to the additions of Dr. Zeman in 2010, Dr. Yantosca in 2017, a Pediatric nurse practitioner and lactation consultant Meg Guimond in 2019, Dr. Pisarik in 2020, pediatric nurse practitioner Sarah Jackel in 2022, Dr. Tepler in 2023, and nurse practitioner Jenny Schwartz in 2024. Behavioral health consultant Jenn Hatalla, and nutritionist Riley Prichard joined the team in 2022. The mission of Arlington Pediatrics is to provide patients with a balance of innovative access to their care and the compassion of a small town medical office. The practice always aims to provide families with an exceptional patient experience.

Seasonal Vaccine Updates
​It's that time of year again!
Influenza:
Flu clinics are open! Please schedule flu vaccine visits online using your child's MyChart; there are dates from September through November. If your child has an upcoming well visit or consult during this timeframe, you may get the vaccine at that appointment and there is no need to schedule a separate vaccine appointment.
COVID-19:
As of Oct 16, we have received Moderna COVID-19 vaccines for all children 6 months and older! If you already have an upcoming appointment scheduled, your child will be able to get it at that time instead.
RSV:
For babies under 8 months old, the RSV antibody injection (Beyfortus) will be available starting October 1. It can be administered with other vaccines and can be done at a vaccine clinic appointment, an upcoming well visit, or consult if already scheduled. Some children over 8 months old with chronic health conditions can qualify for the injection as well. Please reach out or see the AAP Beyfortus recommendations for questions.
Please schedule all vaccine clinic appointments through MyChart. If you have any difficulties with scheduling, please call the office at 781-641-5800 and we will assist you.
How to schedule in MyChart:
1. Log into MyChart
2. Select "Schedule an appointment"
3. Select "Flu Vaccine"
4. Answer preliminary questions
5. Select appointment date and time
Thank you,
Arlington Pediatric Associates Team

As you may have heard, the CDC has recently adjusted its immunization schedule. We remain committed to protecting your child's health through safe, evidence-based vaccination. We are therefore continuing to follow the AAP Immunization Schedule, and no longer following CDC guidelines.
It's flu season! For the safety of our patients and staff, please make sure you and your child (as able) are wearing a mask when coming into our office for sick symptoms (fever, runny nose, cough, body aches, sore throat, vomiting). Thank you!
Flu vaccines have arrived for the 2025-2026 year! See above for other seasonal vaccine updates.
For the next few months, our practice will unfortunately not be accepting new patient transfers. We will continue to accept newborns and siblings of established patients in the meantime.
