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.

I have been working in pediatrics since 2017, first as a medical assistant, then as a registered nurse, and now as a nurse practitioner.
