  3. Hunterdon Pediatric Associates

Hunterdon Pediatric Associates is a team of highly trained physicians, certified pediatric nurse practitioners, nurses, certified medical assistants, and patient service representatives. All of our physicians are board-certified in pediatric medicine, having completed intensive training and examinations. Our certified nurse practitioners are uniquely qualified to oversee well childcare and diagnose and treat a wide variety of common childhood illnesses.

Additional Information

Our specialized training enables us to meet the unique healthcare needs of adolescents. We provide care to young adults until the age of 21 or through the college years. We offer confidential discussions of problems.

We take our responsibility to maintain your confidentiality very seriously. We will not release any information without written consent. For patients under 18 years old, a parent’s written consent is required.

If someone other than a parent or legal guardian brings a child under the age of 18 to the office, we require consent for medical care. If a friend, babysitter, or grandparent brings your child to the office, we require a written note.

Lab specimens may be collected in our office during routine visits. Some tests are done in our office including throat cultures, flu testing, and urinalysis. Specimens that may need additional testing that cannot be done in our office can include throat culture back-up testing, urine cultures, stool cultures, and blood testing. Hunterdon Pediatric Associates will send all specimens to Hunterdon Medical Center for processing unless your insurance specifies that samples must go to Lab Corp or Quest.

We request that parents tell the clinical staff if your insurance requires a particular lab for processing specimens.

If you are a new patient, you can complete the following registration form, save a copy for your records, print it, and bring it with you to your appointment.

Registration Form

Hunterdon Medical Center offers a Pediatric Hospital Medicine Program for newborn and older children, providing inpatient care by a team of pediatricians who specialize in the hospitalized child. One of these pediatricians is in the hospital 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be there whenever your child needs them. They do not work in the office setting. Hospitalists can rapidly respond to emergencies, and they communicate with our HPA providers regularly if your child is in the hospital at Hunterdon Medical Center.

Refills for medications for chronic conditions can be arranged by calling our office and requesting a refill.

Radiology testing may be ordered during a routine or acute visit. Our staff will provide the necessary paperwork for this testing. If your insurance requires a referral for radiology testing, our Referral Department staff will assist with this process.

We will gladly fill out health forms if your child’s well visits are up to date. We charge just $10 to complete the forms and the fee is waived if the form is presented at the well visit or if your child is covered under Medicaid or the Patient Assistance Program.

Health forms provide information about your child. We regard the proper completion of these forms as an important part of your child’s care. Please allow up to 7 days for processing these forms. You must complete your portion of the form, including your health history, and sign it prior to submitting it to us. Please bring all pages of the form to the office, even the patient history portion. Incomplete forms will be returned to you.

We recognize that siblings often have illnesses at the same time. If you would like us to evaluate more than one child at your scheduled appointment time, please tell the Patient Service Representative in advance so that their charts are available for the doctor. Each sick child deserves a complete assessment and requires proper information, time, and support.

Hunterdon Pediatric Associate's nurses are specially trained in assisting parents in the management of a wide range of problems by following detailed telephone protocols. These protocols are designed to assist in managing simple illnesses at home and to assist the nurse in determining if an office visit is necessary in order to evaluate a more serious problem.

Some issues cannot be addressed in a telephone call. Issues such as toilet training refusal or chronic behavior problems will require an office visit. Illnesses such as ear infections or strep throat cannot be diagnosed over the phone and will require an office visit. Calls of an emergency nature will be answered or returned as soon as the nurse is available.

Telephone calls for all other advice are returned in the following timeframe:

  • By 1:30 pm if the call is received in the morning
  • By 6:00 pm if the call is received in the afternoon

Calls made after regular office hours are handled by the St. Peter’s University Hospital Pediatric Call Center.

•    The pediatricians and nurse practitioners of Hunterdon Pediatric Associates are committed to the facts that vaccines are effective and safe.
•    We support the current vaccine schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. 
•    We agree with all credible research that vaccines do not cause autism.
•    Vaccination against harmful and deadly diseases is one of the most important interventions we perform.
•    We will discuss and recommend vaccines at all Well Visits.
•    If you decline vaccinations, we will have you read and sign a Refusal of Recommended Immunizations Form.

We strive to provide the best possible care for all of our patients. For those parents who are vaccine-hesitant, we will do our best to have you understand the importance of vaccination and address your concerns.

Our “No Show” Policy

Our practice has a policy to charge a "No-Show" fee for patients who do not give our office notice of cancellation 24 hours before their appointment, so we can offer your appointment time to another patient who needs to see a medical provider.

We appreciate your efforts to be here on time for your appointment and for understanding the value of the time that has been set aside for you.  Thank you.

This place is wonderful. I needed some paperwork completed for a trip my daughter was going on. I was concerned that her tetanus was nearly up and it was required for the forms. The wonderful nurse offered to squeeze me in rather than have me come back for it. Thanks, you guys are amazing!

I switched to this pediatrician’s office after 3 months of my son being born and am very happy I have! I have gotten appointments the same day when my son is sick and Dr. Rida Sandhu is excellent with him!
Thomas J., 1/29/2025, Google 5-Star Review
Let me start off by saying Dr. Slavin is the best! We’re so happy we found him after moving to this area. My husband and I are first-time parents and Dr. Slavin has made each visit so pleasant and enjoyable. He’s so caring and patient with us that we love going to our baby’s routine visits, they’re all like little mini dates. Love Dr. Slavin and the nurses.

I’ve been with the practice for years and was thrilled when they opened a Hillsborough office. Lori Ioriatti is amazing and with her diligence and listening to everything we were experiencing, she helped get my son the help he needed. Thank you!
Marisa P., 10/29/2024, Google 5-Star Review
Dr. John Douvris is the best pediatrician! All four of my children have been his patients since the day after they got home from the hospital after they were born. He is kind, caring and compassionate. He is always our #1 choice in the practice, however, it’s very helpful and convenient having many doctors and nurse practitioners to choose from at HPA when he isn’t in the office. Great staffing and hours for when you need them most!”

Dr. Potts was great and Brianna who helped make sure our 9-month-old never even cried during her finger prick and flu shot!
Michael M., 8/30/2024, Google 5-Star Review
Time after time we have had wonderful experiences with Dr. Slavin. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and their families. We never felt rushed with our questions and he really takes his time with each exam. The nurses were so lovely and took great care of our baby.

Dr. Ricky Braff is excellent. He is a doctor who truly cares about his patients and their families. We love Dr. Braff!
L.J.S., 8/21/2024, Google 5-Star Review
My boys have been seeing Dr. Braff for 12 years. He’s always been my ‘go to’ doctor for them. Always good with them and explains anything that has to be done. Couldn’t have a better pediatrician for them.
Alison F., 8/14/2024, Google 5-Star Review
I’ve been taking my 4 daughters to see Dr. Clarin at Hunterdon Peds since they were born. Over the last 10 years, he has shown empathy, compassion, and so much care. He has always taken the time to answer all of my questions and is incredibly thoughtful and thorough with my children and their concerns. He is second to none. We love him and all of the staff over there.
Michelle D., 8/14/2024, Google 5-Star Review
Dr. Braff and the team at Hunterdon Pediatrics are excellent. I have been bringing my two girls since they were born and have worked with several physicians and practitioners. Wait times are short, waiting rooms are clean and the staff is friendly.
T.G.E., 8/13/2024, Google 5-Star Review
I have not had a bad experience! After my older son’s doctor retired, we started seeing Dr. Sandhu. She is amazing and very helpful! She has been very honest and supportive with my second child. She calms my nervous mama mind. I highly recommend her.
Lauren W., 8/07/2024, Google 5-Star Review
Dr. Sandhu was amazing! My son is always so afraid of going to the doctor’s office and she was sooo gentle, kind, and very respectful. Great experience, thank you for your time!
Tayler G., 8/06/2024, Google 5-Star Review
We had such a great experience with Dr. Douvris today! I took my daughter to urgent care yesterday because she had poison ivy all over her face, including around her eye. They told me Benadryl, cold compresses, and some topical if I could. Unfortunately, it got worse overnight and I got into Hunterdon Pediatrics this morning. Dr. D was fabulous and made my daughter smile, she chatted with him, and she’s usually so shy! We got a steroid for her and hopefully, she’s on her way to a smooth recovery from the hiccup. lol
Julie G., 8/02/2024, Google 5-Star Review
All three of my kids see Dr. Douvris. He makes an effort to have a relationship with them. It's great to know they have a trusted adult they can speak to comfortably.
Kathryn K., 8/01/2024, Google 5-Star Review
We needed to be seen by the doctor urgently to follow up on a recent ER visit. Everything from scheduling to the time of the appointment was seamless. Dr. Douvris is our favorite! But every doc we’ve seen is always very good. He explained what my daughter was experiencing very thoughtfully. Would recommend highly!
Kate L., 7/31/2024, Google 5-Star Review
My son has been a patient at Hunterdon Pediatrics since he was four. Every single doctor and nurse we have seen over the years has been wonderful. The office staff at each location are always helpful and so kind. Overall the practice is phenomenal 😃
