To my patients and their families,
It is with very mixed emotions that I announce the closing of MP Pediatrics, effective March 14, 2026. I
am unfortunately, no longer able to sustain the financial pressures I have been carrying for the last 17
years of maintaining a private practice.
For those of you who would like to keep me as your child’s pediatrician, I will be continuing to practice
at Zarminali Pediatrics in West Lakeview starting in April 2026.
I recommend that all patients continue to receive care. For those of you looking for a Pediatrician closer
to our current area I recommend:
Dr. Reema Mohamed, 41 Roosevelt Rd, Villa Park, IL 60181, (708) 795-5502
Oak Park Pediatrics, 1107 Chicago Ave, Oak Park, IL 60302, (708) 383-2900
Pediatrics Unlimited, 6853 North Ave, Oak Park, IL 60302, (708) 383-3010
Midway Pediatrics, 4254 W 55th St, Chicago, IL 60632, (773) 582-5200
If your child has complex medical needs and sees a specialist, I recommend choosing a pediatrician in
their network.
In order to receive your child’s medical records, including vaccines, please sign the attached release of
records (can be signed electronically) and send it back to us @ admin@MPPediatrics.com We are
waiving all fees associated with release of records directly to families in order to make this process as
easy as possible. If you would prefer your child’s records be sent to their new physician, simply include
the physician’s information of the release. I encourage everyone to sign the release as soon as possible.
A few things to keep in mind:
All appointments at MP Pediatrics after 3/14/2026 will automatically be cancelled. If you would
like to move up an appointment to before this date, please give us a call to see if we can
accommodate.
We will be open Mondays and Saturdays until closing, with the exception of the 3rd week of the
month, when we will be open late on Wednesday and closed that Monday
After closure I will not be able to fill any prescriptions, send referrals, or complete paperwork
associated with visits at MP Pediatrics.
All outstanding balances must be paid in full before our closure date or will be sent to
collections.
MPower wellness, my Pediatric Obesity Medicine Program, will remain open and active. If your
child is in this program, they can continue to see me as a specialist. If you are interested in
having your child join the program, call 773-500-3650 or email info@mpower-wellness.com
It has been a true honor to have been a pediatrician in the community for the past 17 years. I wish you
and your families all the best and look forward to a new adventure for myself and my family.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jennifer Perez, MD, FAAP, DABOM

A mis pacientes y sus familias:
Con sentimientos mixtos, les anuncio el cierre de MP Pediatrics, a partir del 14 de
marzo de 2026. Lamentablemente, ya no puedo aceptar las presiones financieras que
he soportado durante los últimos 17 años de mi consulta privada.
Para quienes deseen que siga siendo el pediatra de sus hijos, seguiré ejerciendo en
Zarminali Pediatrics en West Lakeview a partir de abril de 2026.
Recomiendo que todos los pacientes sigan recibiendo atención. Para quienes buscan
un pediatra más cercano a nuestra zona, les recomiendo:
Dra. Reema Mohamed, 41 Roosevelt Rd, Villa Park, IL 60181, (708) 795-5502
Oak Park Pediatrics, 1107 Chicago Ave, Oak Park, IL 60302, (708) 383-2900
Pediatrics Unlimited, 6853 North Ave, Oak Park, IL 60302, (708) 383-3010
Midway Pediatrics, 4254 W 55th St, Chicago, IL 60632, (773) 582-5200
Si su hijo tiene necesidades médicas complejas y consulta con un especialista, les
recomiendo elegir un pediatra de su red. Para recibir el historial médico de su hijo/a,
incluyendo las vacunas, firme la autorización de acceso a historiales adjunta (puede
firmarse electrónicamente) y envíenosla a admin@MPPediatrics.com. Para facilitar al
máximo este proceso, estamos eliminando el costo de la autorización de acceso a
historiales directamente a las familias. Si prefiere que el historial de su hijo/a se envíe a
su nuevo médico, simplemente incluya la información del médico en la autorización.
Les recomiendo a todos que firmen la autorización lo antes posible.
Algunos aspectos a tener en cuenta:
• Todas las citas en MP Pediatrics después del 14/3/2026 se cancelarán
automáticamente. Si desea adelantar una cita para antes de esta fecha, llámenos para
ver si podemos atenderle.
• Estaremos abiertos los lunes y sábados hasta el cierre, excepto la tercera semana del
mes, que abrirá hasta tarde el miércoles y cerrará ese lunes.
• Después del cierre, no podré surtir recetas, enviar referencias ni completar la
documentación relacionada con las visitas en MP Pediatrics.
• Todos los saldos pendientes deben pagarse en su totalidad antes de la fecha de cierre
o se enviarán a cobranza.
• MPower Wellness, mi Programa de Medicina de la Obesidad Pediátrica, permanecerá
abierto y activo. Si su hijo/a participa en este programa, podrá seguir consultándome
como especialista. Si le interesa que su hijo se una al programa, llame al 773-500-3650
o envíe un correo electrónico a info@mpower-wellness.com
Ha sido un verdadero honor haber sido pediatra en la comunidad durante los últimos 17
años. Les deseo a ustedes y a sus familias todo lo mejor y espero con ansias una
nueva aventura para mí y mi familia.
Atentamente,
Dr. Jennifer Perez, MD, FAAP, DABOM
