Patient Stories

At UPMC Children’s Community Pediatrics (CCP), our pediatricians pride themselves on establishing trusting, lifelong relationships with our patients and their families. We see ourselves as more than just doctors. We’re the boo-boo fixers, the look-how-much-you’ve-grown exclaimers, the it’s-going-to be-okay promisers.

We’re here through every major milestone, every growth spurt, every sickness, and every celebration. To celebrate our stories, we’ve turned to those who tell it best –our patients.
