- Pediatric CareLancaster-Depew Pediatrics is a medical partnership composed of Dr. Michael D. Terranova, Dr. Elizabeth Davis, and Dr. Michael D. Rabice. As pediatricians we specialize in the care of newborns, children, and adolescents. We are prepared to take care of all your children's health needs: well child check-ups, illnesses and injuries. And if at any time you need some support, guidance, or advice, we will be there for that too. We also wish to stress that although pediatricians have traditionally been associated with the care of babies and small children, we have been trained in, and enjoy caring for adolescents and young adults.

- Emergency CareIn the event of an emergency, please contact us day or night, informing the receptionist or answering service that you have an emergency. We will arrange to see the child or direct you to the appropriate emergency room. With respect to medical care for children, not all hospitals are equally skilled and we prefer you use the emergency room we designate, which will depend on the situation. If you have arrived in an emergency room before contacting us, please ask the emergency room physician to contact us.
- Infectious DiseasesWe strongly believe that immunizing your child is an important portion of maintaining a healthy childhood and preventing infectious diseases. We follow the guidelines for immunizing children as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

- AutismAutism is a chronic developmental disorder, often first identified in toddlers from age 18 months to 30 months. MMR is administered just before the peak age of onset of autism. This timing leads some parents to mistakenly assume a causal relationship. There is no evidence that MMR causes autism.
