Partners in Your Child's Journey

We will support your child from newborn care to young adulthood, understanding their needs and being there for them every step of the way.

How to Join our Practice

Transferring to Peak

Transferring your child to Peak Pediatric Care is simple. Fill out our online registration form, accept our policies, and complete the medical record request. We’ll handle the rest by contacting your current pediatrician for the records, which may take up to 30 days.

We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and let you know as soon as your child is all set as a Peak patient.

Registering a Newborn

If you’re expecting, complete our newborn registration form before birth. After your baby arrives, or if your baby is already here, call us during business hours and we’ll get you set for your first appointment.

Be sure to contact your insurance to confirm that Dr. Kathryn Hansen is in-network with your plan. We can’t verify your specific plan for you and don’t want you to be stuck with the cost of a denied visit!

Accepted insurances

We accept a variety of insurance plans. If you don’t see yours listed, call your member services to check if Dr. Kathryn Hansen is in-network with your plan.

Since every plan is unique, we ask all patients to contact their insurance to fully understand your benefits, copay, and any balances you will be responsible for. We want you to know this ahead of time to avoid any surprise bills.

Currently, we are not accepting new patients with MassHealth or BMC HealthNet plans. There is no current timeline on when we will reopen to those plans.

Are We a Good Fit?

At Peak Pediatric Care, we strive to be upfront about our philosophy so you can decide if we are the right fit for your family. We aim to build long-lasting relationships with our families, but to do that, we all need to be on the same page. Here are key aspects of our approach to help you decide.

Team Effort

The Peak team is led by Dr. Hansen and Dr. Barkas, along with a great team of Nurse Practitioners and a Physician Assistant. All our providers work closely to ensure your family always receives exceptional care.

We understand families will have a preference for who they normally see, and we will always do our best to accommodate that. However, please be aware that same-day sick visits will need to be scheduled with the available provider that day.

Communication

To ensure efficient and effective communication with our office, patients are encouraged to set up their patient portal and Spruce account. This allows patients to easily contact our office as needed and ensures that we have an open line of communication with you.

Vaccines

Our office is pro-vaccine, and we require all patients to follow the immunization schedule required for students attending school in Massachusetts. All patients must agree to this policy and understand that exceptions or delayed schedules will not be allowed.

Antibiotics

At Peak Pediatric Care, we aim to treat each patient based on their individual symptoms. While we understand the desire to have antibiotics called in when your child is sick, it is not always the best course of action.

We require patients to be seen in the office before prescribing any antibiotics, as they will not be prescribed over the phone based on symptoms alone. This approach ensures the best care for your child.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know that choosing a pediatrician brings up a lot of questions, and we hope to answer what we can for you. Here are some common inquiries to help guide you in making the best decision for your family’s care.
We offer appointments Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with same-day sick visits available every Saturday from 9 AM to Noon.

For after-hours questions, you can send a message through Spruce or the patient portal, and we will respond the next business day. For urgent medical needs outside of office hours, we provide a nurse triage line to assist our patients.

We accept most major insurance plans. However, because every plan is different, we require our patients to call their insurance provider to confirm that Dr. Kathryn Hansen is in-network with their specific plan. It is your responsibility to know your plan and coverage before registering as a patient of Peak Pediatric Care.

New Patient Information Session

Are you looking for a pediatrician for your child or newborn? We offer a monthly New Patient Information Session where you can:
