New York, NY
at Pediatrics 2000. Founded in 1992 by Dr. Juan Tapia-Mendoza, Pediatrics 2000 was created to serve marginalized urban communities with compassionate, high-quality pediatric care. Opening its first clinic in 1993 at 150th Street and Broadway in West Harlem—an area federally designated as medically underserved—the practice introduced the first private pediatric office and open-access clinic for Medicaid-eligible families in the neighborhood. Over the years, Pediatrics 2000 has partnered with organizations such as the National Health Service Corps and Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center to strengthen primary care, promote health education, and support community-based research. The clinic’s work has been featured by major media outlets including The New York Times, NBC, CBS, and Univision, and it now operates two locations serving over 30,000 patients annually. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Pediatrics 2000 demonstrated its commitment to community health by expanding telehealth services, distributing food, assisting with testing efforts, and volunteering at vaccination centers. Recognized as a Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Home by the NCQA—the highest distinction in patient-centered care—Pediatrics 2000 continues to lead in providing comprehensive, accessible, and compassionate pediatric care for underserved populations.

We have two convenient locations in New York City:
Services
Well Child Visits
Scheduling regular
well child visits is one of the most important steps you can take to support your child’s healthy growth and development. These visits give your pediatrician the opportunity to closely monitor your child’s physical, emotional, and developmental milestones, while also allowing you time to ask questions and discuss any concerns about your child’s health. We recommend scheduling well child visits at least three months in advance to reserve an appointment with your child’s primary care provider at a time that works best for your family.
