Valley Medical Group, in a continued strategic partnership with New York-based Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital, announced the opening of its second joint pediatric practice. Located at 1578 Route 23 North in Wayne, the new facility brings a comprehensive range of primary and specialty pediatric services to the northern New Jersey region.
The expansion follows the success of their first collaborative site in Montvale and aims to provide families with high-level academic medical center expertise within their local community.
The Wayne practice will be led by Dr. Shivani Shah, director of General Outpatient Pediatrics for Valley Medical Group. Shah, who is board-certified and also serves as the Associate Director of Quality at The Mount Sinai Hospital, specializes in:
-
Preventive medicine: Routine wellness visits and developmental screenings.
-
Chronic condition management: Focused expertise in childhood asthma and obesity.
-
Core services: Sick visits, laboratory services, and mandatory vaccinations.
Beyond primary care, the facility is set to become a hub for pediatric subspecialties. Pediatric Endocrinology will be among the first specialty services available, treating a variety of conditions:
-
Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
-
Growth and Thyroid Disorders
-
Adrenal and Lipid Disorders
-
Puberty and Menstrual Issues
“Access to high-quality, compassionate pediatric care close to home is essential for supporting children’s health as they grow,” Dr. J. Antonio Quiros, chair of Children’s Services for Valley Medical Group said.
The partnership between Valley and Mount Sinai effectively bridges the gap between community-based care and the resources of a major research hospital. Through this alliance, Valley patients gain streamlined access to Mount Sinai’s nationally ranked specialists and advanced clinical programs.
The new Wayne practice is currently accepting new patients. Families interested in scheduling an appointment or learning more about the integrated services can visit ValleyHealth.com/ChildrensHealth or call 201-746-9484.
