HMH - Pediatrics - Hackensack - Academic Practice

Our practice, part of Hackensack Meridian Health Medical Group and Hackensack University Medical Center, functions as an academic practice.

Here, our highly qualified resident doctors provide comprehensive, compassionate care to children from birth to age 21 years, while receiving supervision and ongoing education by Eric Weber, M.D., Director of the Pediatric Continuity Program at Hackensack University Medical Center and a board certified pediatrician at Hackensack Meridian Health Medical Group. Fluent in Spanish and English, Dr. Weber has extensive experience in caring for children and families with a wide range of cultural and economic backgrounds.

Together, our care team collaborates to provide the highest quality care for your child, including treatment and management for both for acute illnesses and chronic conditions.

What is a Resident Physician?

“Resident” physicians are licensed doctors (M.D./D.O.) who have completed their medical school training and are continuing to perfect their expertise under a supervising physician.

Why Choose a Resident Practice?
