A pediatric practice's journey to provide care to "healthy babies and children"

Pediatr Ann. 2015 Mar;44(3):92-6. doi: 10.3928/00904481-20150313-04.

Abstract

In 1923, Dr. Alfred Traisman literally hung out his shingle on the corner of Clark Street and Arthur Avenue in the East Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, IL, and thus began over 90 years of our practice-providing care to pediatric patients in the Chicagoland area. We have witnessed many changes since those early days but what has stayed consistent is the continuity of care, the focus on the patient, and our office as the medical home. The practice has 3 generations of Traisman pediatricians and some families can actually be traced back 5 generations.
