We’re real pediatricians, just a text away, ready to cut through the noise and give you quick, reliable answers about your child’s health.
Let your new pediatrician friends lighten your mental load and help empower, guide and support you through the scariest moments of motherhood
Being a mom means endless health questions— Should they be walking yet? How am I going to make it through another stomach bug? And seriously, what even is RSV?! Saving all your questions for your pediatrician’s visits can seem daunting. And Dr. Internet? Total chaos and worst-case scenarios.
It’s time to ditch the panic-Googling for some real peace of mind and become best friends!
And let’s face it — concerns about your child’s health are the scariest part of being a mom.
Welcome to My Pediatrician Friend -
A text message based service where parents can connect with real life, pediatrician moms and ask questions to help relieve anxiety around their child’s health concerns. Our goal is not to replace any current models of care (pediatrician, urgent care, ED, etc.) but instead give realistic and informed support to parents.
It’s about time we replace the frantic google searching that can be so wildly inaccurate!

What We Don’t Do
We do not replace your pediatrician.

Medicine isn’t one-size-fits-all – every family is different, and what works for one might not work for another.
