Welcome to Southwest Pediatrics

Caring for children from birth through 21 years old

Pfizer/Biontech’s COVID 19 vaccine has been authorized for children 5 years and older. Our doses have arrived and we are now scheduling appointments to receive the vaccine! Please call our offices to schedule your child’s two-dose series . Per the CDC we are also scheduling booster (3rd doses) of Pfizer/Biontech’s vaccine for all children 12 years and older who are 5 months from completing their initial series. Please check out Dr. Surasek and Dr Deshpande discussing the vaccine:

2020 brought the 40^th anniversary of Southwest Pediatrics and one of our most challenging years to date, specifically COVID-19 in our community. 2021 has continued to challenge us as we navigate the resurgence of respiratory viruses with in office viral testing in addition to COVID-19 testing and CDC authorized COVID-19 vaccinations to be able to keep kids in school safely. We are proud of the flexibility of our staff and our families to adjust these challenges so that we could continue to offer quality medical care to the children of the Southwest suburbs of Chicago. We are honored to have been voted Best of the Southside by the Southtown Gazette readers.
