"Dr. Barasch and I started this practice in 1994 in a small office in Watchung. One goal: treat the whole child — body, mind, and spirit. Thirty years and three offices later, that hasn't changed. Pediatricians, nurse practitioners, social workers, dietitians, and lactation support all under one roof. Saturday hours, telehealth, a doctor on call 24/7."

— Dr. Andrea Katz, Co-Founder

What families are saying

★★★★★

This office and staff are absolutely amazing and really care for their patients. I had an emergency visit and they have been in touch with me every day after to follow up and figure out our course of action. I take all my kids here and I went here as a kid too!

Love Watchung Pediatrics, they take care of me even at 21 years, my younger sisters, my partner, and my daughter. I'm so grateful to have been blessed with their healthcare in my life and in my loved ones' lives.

The Millburn office has consistently been a wonderful experience! The entire staff and nurses are super friendly. Dr. Jeffrey Eng has been amazing with our son.

One of the best decisions I've made as a parent is selecting Watchung Pediatrics. My kids trust their doctor (Dr Katz) and share it all. There is no judgement here, just support and caring.
