About Us
Small Practice, Big Difference
In a world of large hospitals, finding a personal, family-run practice can be a challenge. At Lynnfield Pediatrics, we stay small so families can build real connections with our staff — from receptionists to providers — ensuring personalized, compassionate care.
Our Story
Founded in 1983 by John A. Schey, MD as a solo practice, Lynnfield Pediatrics quickly expanded with the addition of his wife, Ruth Hazen, MD. Over the years, the practice has grown to include a third physician, a full-time physician assistant, and three part-time clinicians—dedicated to providing personalized care to families.
In 2017, we became affiliated with Highland Health IPA, a non-profit network of independent physician groups around Boston. This partnership allows us to stay true to our values of maintaining a small, community-focused practice while enhancing communication and collaboration with other providers.
Our affiliation with Winchester Hospital and Tufts Floating Hospital for Children strengthens our care, but we continue to offer access to specialists and hospitals across Boston Children’s, Partners, and the North Shore, ensuring our patients receive comprehensive care when they need it most.
