Finding pediatric care in Philadelphia

Philadelphia is home to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), one of the best-known pediatric hospitals in the country, as well as St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in North Philadelphia. CHOP also runs a network of primary care practices across the city and suburbs, alongside many independent pediatricians.

When comparing practices, ask which hospital they are affiliated with, whether they offer evening or weekend hours, and how they handle referrals to specialists, as waits for some developmental and behavioral services can be long.
