Pediatric Associates of Hampden County (PAHC)

Welcome to Pediatric Associates of Hampden County, where our mission is to provide professional, compassionate, and comprehensive care to infants, children and adolescents. We strive to establish an accessible medical home in which our culturally diverse patients can be cared for in a confidential, respectful, and friendly environment. 

At Pediatric Associates of Hampden County, our physicians and staff understand the complex decisions parents face and we are dedicated to providing the best care during times of acute illness, chronic disability and normal stages of growth and development. Our practice uses evidence-based care and follows the guidelines and recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). 

Pediatric Associates of Hampden County was originally established in Westfield, Massachusetts by Dr. Paul Taylor in 1975. Dr. Taylor worked as a solo pediatrician providing care to many children in Western Massachusetts. As the practice expanded, a second office was created in Agawam in 1984 which later relocated to our current West Springfield location in 1992. As the practice has grown, emphasis has always been placed on maintaining personal relationships between the providers, our patients and their families.  

The providers of Pediatric Associates of Hampden County strive to remain accessible to our patients by maintaining evening and weekend hours, and having physicians on call when our offices are closed. Our practice takes great pride in the flexibility and availability of the services we offer to our patients. Some of the services we offer include; newborn care, well childcare, integrated behavioral health, and same day sick visits. We want to be the first-place parents call when they have a concern about their children.
