HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
Pediatric developmental & behavioral expertise — unhurried and designed to fit your needs.
THE PROCESS
How I work with families
A different way of delivering expert pediatric care — unhurried, specialized, and built to work for you. You don't need to know exactly what your child needs before reaching out. That's what I'm here to help you figure out.
Whether you’re navigating your child’s anxiety, challenging behaviors, or developmental concerns, unsure what’s going on or where to start, it’s easy to get started.

01
Initial Consultation
A 60-minute video session with parents, which includes reviewing your child’s developmental & medical history to more fully understand your child and your family, provide clarity on your situation, and chart a path forward. A detailed written summary, action plan, and follow-up messaging following the appointment.
Introductory rate $350 (Reg. $450)

Depending on what emerges, next steps might include a package of sessions, a developmental evaluation, or ongoing follow-up visits — as many or as few as your family needs.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Self-pay practice. Cutler Pediatric Medicine does not accept insurance at this time. All services are self-pay, due at the time of service. A superbill (itemized receipt with diagnosis and procedure codes) is available upon request and may be submitted to your insurance plan for potential out-of-network reimbursement — though reimbursement is not guaranteed.
Pricing and Good Faith Estimates. A complete fee schedule is available upon request. As required by the No Surprises Act, a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges will be provided to all self-pay patients prior to their first visit.
Telehealth and New York State licensing. Telehealth services are available to patients physically located in New York State at the time of the visit. I am licensed to practice medicine in New York. Patients residing outside of New York are not eligible for telehealth visits at this time.
Email and website communications. Email and contact forms on this website are for general inquiries only and are not monitored continuously. Please do not submit any sensitive health information by email. All protected health information should be communicated through the secure patient portal. Use of this website does not establish a patient-physician relationship.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers
-
Cutler Pediatric Medicine is geared towards parents and caregivers (including preschools and childcare centers) of children in the early years - from birth through age 6 - who are concerned about children’s development, behaviors or anxiety.
-
No. Our services are open to any parent or caregiver, regardless of where your child receives their medical care. You don't need a referral, a membership, or any prior relationship with Cutler Pediatric Medicine to join.
-
No, you still need a pediatrician for all of your child’s health and medical needs.
-
“The Prescription” is a free monthly newsletter written personally by Dr. Cutler. Each issue covers a topic relevant to parents of young children: sleep, feeding, behavior, development, milestones, and more. It arrives in your inbox every month. It's always free. You can unsubscribe anytime.
-
Dr. Cutler offers live virtual 45-60 minute workshops on topics parents ask about most — from managing toddler behaviors to tracking early child development to understanding emotional dysregulation and more.
Workshops are announced through the newsletter first — so the best way to be notified of upcoming sessions is to subscribe. Workshop details, including topics, dates, and pricing, will be shared as each event is scheduled.
-
No. Cutler Pediatric Medicine, PLLC currently operates as an out-of-network, direct-pay practice. We do not contract directly with commercial health insurance companies or Medicaid.
We chose this model because behavioral pediatrics requires comprehensive, deeply focused time with your child and family. By remaining independent of insurance constraints, we are not limited by strict visit duration caps or restrictive charting requirements. This allows us to dedicate our full attention to diagnosing, managing, and treating your child's unique development.
We will be happy to provide you with an itemized medical superbill, which you may submit directly to your insurance provider to seek reimbursement using your plan’s out-of-network outpatient benefits. (We cannot guarantee that any or all of the services will be covered and we accept no responsibility if payments to you are not reimbursed.)
-
The newsletter and workshops are currently educational offerings designed for general audiences. For individual concerns specific to your child, Dr. Cutler offers individualized one-on-one consultations. Go to our Contact page to reach out to us directly.
-
Please do not use this website or the newsletter to seek urgent medical advice. If your child is experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. For urgent but non-emergency concerns, contact your child's pediatrician directly.
