Peds First Pediatrics was founded by Dr. Jason Halegoua in September of 2009. Dr. Jennifer Nastasi joined the practice as his partner beginning in January of 2010. Both doctors had previously worked for six years at a large multi-site group practice in Suffolk County, and while rewarding in many ways, they felt a key element was missing from their experience. Their goal in establishing Peds First Pediatrics was to create a setting that provides improved doctor-patient continuity; a setting that permits the doctors to get to know their patients and families on a more personal level. Peds First Pediatrics achieves this goal, enabling them to practice pediatric medicine at a single location with a warm and welcoming environment.

The Peds First Pediatrics office space itself is new and family friendly. It is equipped with state of the art technologies for hearing and vision assessments, laboratory testing, and asthma evaluations. The charting system is paperless as we employ Electronic Medical Records to both enable us to provide improved tracking of medical issues and provide parents with conveniences not possible with paper charts. Our staff is experienced, friendly, and always focused on serving the families we care for.
