🏥 Our Story


Est. 2001

Founded in Newtown, CT

Church Hill Pediatrics was founded in 2001 by Dr. Richard Auerbach with a simple mission: to provide compassionate, thorough, and personalized pediatric care to every child and family who walks through our doors. For over two decades, that commitment has never wavered.

New Name, Same Heart

From Auerbach Pediatrics to Church Hill Pediatrics

Recently renamed from “Auerbach Pediatrics” to “Church Hill Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine,” our new name reflects our growth and expanded services. The core team, the warm environment, and our dedication to your family’s health remain exactly the same. Meet our current team →

💜

A New Name, The Same Trusted Care

While our name has changed, everything else you know and love about our practice remains the same. The same dedicated providers, the same welcoming staff, and the same commitment to your child’s well-being that families have counted on since 2001.
