Your Pediatrician Friend

A virtual pediatrician at your fingertips.

Get personalized answers to your pediatric questions from a board-certified pediatrician with 20 years of experience. All from the comfort of your home!

As a parent you have a lot of questions!

And you want evidence-based, practical answers from a trusted resource, like your pediatrician. Unfortunately, it has been getting increasingly difficult to access doctors. Often times you have to send a message through a hard-to-navigate portal or navigate a phone tree and be on hold forever. You may be charged upwards of $50 to get your questions answered. And even then, there is a good chance it will be answered by someone other than your doctor. But sometimes you just want to talk to a doctor, especially when it comes to your most precious resource...your kids! That is where I can step in. I am here to supplement your regular doctor, and answer all your kid-related questions, big and small! For a monthly or quarterly subscription, you can have unlimited access to text me on a HIPAA-compliant platform. I will generally get back to you within 2 hours (but often quicker!). Not only can I answer all your kid-related questions, I can also look at your pictures and treat simple conditions, like pinkeye, swimmer’s ear and eczema. A prescription can even be sent to your pharmacy. Imagine not having to go to into the office or urgent care! Virtual consults are also available for an additional fee.

Communication with a Pediatrician can be this easy!

Testimonials

  • “We’ve been blown away b Dr Harrington’s responsiveness, attention to detail, and extraordinary care. We use the subscription texting regularly, and we’ve also taken advantage of video visits, which have been incredibly helpful.  We are an MD/APRN (pediatric) family, so we’re particular about who we trust and what we expect. Kate always supports her guidance with both data and deep clinical experience. She has a remarkable ability to speak to us in both worlds—honoring our medical/nursing backgrounds while understanding that we’re parents first. Her communication is always calming, thoughtful, and deeply informative.

    Kate treats all of our children by speaking to them directly, which creates a level of connection — especially for younger kids who are still learning to feel seen and heard.

    We have four kids (ages 9, 6, 4, and 1), and she’s helped us through RSV, endless colds and viruses, chronic strep and tonsillitis, questionable staph, cold sore meds, sleep issues, and most recently, navigating the need for tonsil removal. The reassurance she’s given us has been absolutely invaluable. We’re so grateful for her and for this service!”

    -Emily & Matt (children ages 9, 6, 4 & 1)

  • “Dr. Harrington was a lifesaver when my daughter was very sick, and our pediatrician couldn’t provide answers. She gave us a much-needed second opinion, which allowed us to advocate for our daughter and get her the proper diagnosis quickly. Thanks to Dr. Harrington, she was on the road to recovery much sooner. We are so grateful for her expertise and care!”

    -Jen (child age 11)


  • “Your Pediatrician Friend has been an invaluable service to our family. Dr. Harrington is truly one of a kind- so thorough, knowledgeable, and reassuring- everything you'd want in a pediatrician! She has been incredibly helpful to our family and has saved us so many trips to the doctors office and even the ER. Dr. Harrington is super responsive (even when she's on the other side of the world!) and so caring. I can't recommend her enough. This service is worth every penny!”

    -A. Leung (children ages 4 & 2.5)

  • “Our teen experienced severe facial swelling while on Spring Break. Initially, I talked to the nurse line at our regular pediatrician’s office. They offered solutions that included three types of medications and discussed us making a trip in to see a doctor. I decided to get a second opinion from Dr. Harrington. Not only did Dr. Harrington provide a detailed explanation of what was happening inside the body to cause the swelled appearance, she offered a solution that did not involve any medication. My teen followed her advice and was noticeably better within hours and has had continuous improvement since. We saved a trip to the doctor’s office and avoided unnecessary medication! Thank you, Dr. Harrington!”

    -Mom of 16 year old


  • “So thankful for Dr. Kate Harrington and this service. She has been a great resource and second opinion for several illnesses/medical concerns that we have had. She is thorough, empathetic, quick to respond and follow up, and very knowledgeable on every concern/illness that we have discussed with her. Being able to text a pediatrician to help make medical decisions for our children has been such a valuable service to us and we look forward to being clients for years to come!” 

    -Emily Eppel (children ages 4, 2 & 7 months)

  • “As a Mom to two busy boys, managing all the things can sometimes feel overwhelming. However, since I started using Dr. Harrington’s texting service, the mental load has significantly lightened. This service is a game-changer for busy parents like me.

    The convenience of being able to text a pediatrician anytime with questions or concerns is invaluable. Whether it's about symptoms, medication, or general advice, Dr. Harrington provides prompt, reliable, and reassuring responses. The peace of mind knowing that expert help is just a text away has made a world of difference.

    I highly recommend Dr. Harrington’s texting service to any parent looking for help with managing the mental load around kids' health questions, it's been a game changer for me! “
