About
At KidsHousecalls, two board-certified pediatricians deliver complete pediatric care without a single office visit. Dr. Edward Kulich founded the practice in 2009 and pioneered the house-call model exclusively for children in the New York Metro area. Dr. Fon-Sawitree Dew has since joined the team. Together they serve families across select counties in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
The practice limits membership to 150 families, with all siblings covered under one membership fee. Members receive Dr. Kulich's personal cell phone number, reachable 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Every visit happens at home, in a hotel room, or another location the family chooses. The team brings a full suite of diagnostic equipment to each visit, including portable X-rays, ultrasounds, EKGs, and in-home lab testing. KidsHousecalls also offers sleep consultations, special needs care, travel medicine, and expedited specialist referrals throughout the Metro area. NPR, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and TIME Magazine have all featured the practice.
