Hilary Hotchkiss, MD

Pediatric care in Elmhurst doesn’t always get the attention it deserves, given how many families call this corner of Queens home. Hilary Hotchkiss, MD practices at 79-01 Broadway, a stretch of the neighborhood where the sidewalks stay busy and the diversity of the community shows in the foot traffic. This isn’t the kind of place that advertises with flashy signs or social media campaigns—just a pediatrician’s office serving a population that ranges from newborns to adolescents, with all the check-ups, vaccinations, and developmental screenings that entails.

The block itself sits between Roosevelt Avenue’s hustle and the quieter residential streets further east, which means it’s accessible whether you’re coming from the 7 train or a short walk from home. Pediatricians in dense urban areas often handle a mix of routine visits and more urgent concerns, and this practice is no exception. Well-child exams, sick visits, and school physicals fill the schedule, along with the kind of parental questions that only arise when you’re raising kids in a city where space is tight and resources are stretched thin.

Booking an appointment here follows the usual process—call (718) 334-4000 during business hours, and expect the standard intake questions about insurance and reason for the visit. If you’re new to the area or just need a refresher on where to go, the map will confirm what locals already know: it’s right there on Broadway, between 79th and 80th Streets, where the sidewalk never seems to empty out.
