Administrative
We are located in Oradell, New Jersey. We are minutes from the Garden State Parkway and about thirty minutes from New York City. For directions, please visit GoogleMaps.
We are open by appointment for both well child and acute and chronic illness care during the week. The office is generally open from 8a-5p on weekdays. The best time to call for same-day appointments is 8-9am. We are available through our answering service when the office is closed at night and on the weekends.
We take care of infants, children, adolescents and young adults from birth through approximately age 25.
We participate with most major insurance networks. For those who are out-of-network, we will provide you with a detailed receipt at the time of service for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Please check with your insurance carrier to verify whether or not we are in-network.
We realize that you count on your health insurance to cover basic medical care. But much of what we do at the Whole Child Center – the very reasons you choose to have us care for your kids – are unique services and benefits that are not covered by health insurance. To continue to operate in the holistic manner our patients have come to know and trust, we charge an annual fee. Please contact us with any additional questions about the fee.
While Dr. Rosen maintains a courtesy affiliation with Hackensack Meridian Health and teaches at the HM School of Medicine, we do not make rounds at any hospital. Instead, we work in partnership with pediatric hospitalists at various area institutions.
We like to see newborns in our office within 2-3 days of birth or discharge from the hospital. Routinely, babies are seen during the first year at 2-4 weeks, 2m, 4m, 6m, 9m and 12m. During the second year, well child visits are at 15, 18 and 24 months, with subsequent visits at 30 and 36 months, and then yearly. Please note that we will work with you to facilitate a schedule that is best for your family.
Our practitioners often consult with families who have children with special health needs and chronic health conditions. Also, prospective parents may schedule prenatal consultations, and we’ve created a video (below), answering the most common questions you will have.
Yes, we encourage you to sign up for access via our patient portal once you’ve joined the practice. We provide secure messaging via our state-of-the-art athenahealth EHR, accessible via a link on the Center’s homepage. If this is your first time using the portal, you will have to complete a very short registration process. The portal also provides secure access to your child’s health records, to request appointments and to pay your bill.

The Whole Child Center provides integrative primary care for infants, children, and adolescents, as well as specialized integrative consultations and therapies for families. Learn more about the practice.
We have compiled a list of resources for you on our website, and Dr. Rosen has co-authored a book, “Treatment Alternatives for Children,” profiling a wide array of natural treatments for the most common acute and chronic pediatric conditions. Visit Dr. Rosen’s site to learn more about the book.
We recognize that vaccination is one of parents’ most common concerns today. While we welcome a respectful, open dialogue based on the tenets of informed consent, we are very pro-vaccine and strongly support immunization as a public health and preventive health strategy. Our expectation is that all families will be in compliance with state-recommended school vaccine schedules, barring legitimate medical exemptions.
We have adapted the “Thieves” blend to make our own all-natural, alcohol-free hand sanitizer. It’s super-easy to make yourself. You can find the recipe in Dr. Rosen’s book, “Treatment Alternatives for Children” and in this post for MindBodyGreen.
