Dr. Ward will be unavailable from Monday, July 21-Tuesday, July 29, 2025. For true emergencies, go to your nearest Emergency Dept. or local urgent care. Dr. Sonia Gidwani will be covering some visits as allowed. She can be reached at (212) 496-5437 or email her at info@ourkidsmd.com for appointments. Emails to our office will be handled on a nonurgent basis only due to limited staff hours for this timeframe.
Please call our office to schedule an appointment. Nina and Meg are eager to assist you in any way. All messages will be returned as soon as possible. We look forward to providing top-quality medical care to all of our families.
We'd like to offer a special thank you to Russell Fink, Sarah Hudnall, the Szczerbiak family, the Bonano family, the Mahoney family, and the Alger family for their very thoughtful contributions to the practice.
