Leif G. Nordstrom, M.D.

Pediatric Services began back in the 1950's when it was known as Dr. Ellsworth A. Twible, Inc. Dr. Twible was a wonderful pediatrician who practiced with caring, understanding, and a genuine love for children and their families while bringing knowledge and new pediatric ideas and insights into this area. Dr. Nordstrom joined Dr. Twible in 1981, and the practice name changed to Pediatric Services of Springfield in 1984. Dr. George Hepner joined Pediatric Services in 1986, and as the practice continued to grow, the need for a new location from its original Springfield location became apparent. A new office was built at 200 North Main Street in East Longmeadow in 1987. Dr. Mark Belemjian joined the staff in 1991. We continued to practice at 200 North Main Street until 1997, when we relocated to our current address at 294 North Main Street in East Longmeadow. In 1999, Susan Kearney joined our practice as our first nurse practitioner. We have since added Dr. Michelle Adams MD, Kathleen Pion PNP, and Rachel Tartaglia PNP.

Our new location at the Kid's Village at 35 Post Office Park in Wilbraham is now open. There will be multitude of new services available in the upcoming months that focus on patient and family education and a team approach to care. Our primary concerns involve the issues of health management, obesity, and behavioral management; we are working hard to come up with specific plans to attack these issues. With this in mind, Dr. Susan Cary, child psychiatrist, and Dr. Rob Robinson and his staff of child psychologists have also opened their practices at the Kid's Village and are currently seeing patients out of that location. Dr. Michelle Adams has joined our staff. A new nurse practitioner, Rachel Tartaglia has also joined the practice. All providers will be seeing patients in both locations.
