Vernon Pediatric and Family Care

Partners In Care


Advocare Vernon Pediatric & Family Care has provided comprehensive care to children and adolescents for more than 35 years. We now offer adult care!



We are dedicated to providing you with compassionate, comprehensive, and personalized care for every member of your family at every stage of life. As your partner in health care, we are committed to caring for your family's physical, emotional, and social well-being. Our office is dedicated to providing families with the highest quality care by developing strong partnerships with our patients, and by practicing evidence-based medicine. 



Our objective at Advocare Vernon Pediatric and Family Care is to offer modern and easily available healthcare services to individuals of all ages in our local community. Our primary focus is to become the leading medical facility, delivering exceptional care to patients and their loved ones through our expertise, commitment and empathy. 

We provide on-site blood draw services for our patients conducted by a certified Labcorp phlebotomist, available Monday through Friday from 9:15 am to 4:30 pm. Should blood work be prescribed during your appointment and not necessitate fasting, or in the case of an earlier scheduled appointment and you are already fasting - we can draw the labs in the office on the same day.


In instances where neither of these conditions applies, we kindly request that you either visit our front desk before leaving or contact our patient care representatives at 973-827-4550 to arrange an appointment with our phlebotomist. It is important to note that we exclusively offer in-house blood draw services, and external orders cannot be accommodated. This service is designed for the convenience of our patients and we are pleased to inform you that the majority of insurance providers participate in covering associated costs.


For inquiries or concerns directed specifically to Labcorp, or Labcorp billing we recommend reaching out to them directly at 800-845-6167. Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated.
