Contacting the American Academy of Pediatrics

The AAP Web site contains general information for parents of children from birth through age 21. The Academy is unable to respond to requests from parents regarding the personal medical concerns of their children. Your pediatrician is the best source for child and adolescent health information.

Parents & Caregivers

Find a Pediatrician Service and Healthy Children are useful tools in your search for a pediatrician or information regarding the personal medical concerns of your child(ren).
