About Home Base Pediatrics

Pediatric care built around your family, not a waiting room

Home Base Pediatrics gives New Jersey families direct access to personalized pediatric guidance when questions can’t wait. Through text support, telemedicine, and in-home visits when appropriate, families can get answers from a trusted pediatric provider without the stress of a crowded waiting room.

Meet the Founder

Marie Udell

Hi! I'm Marie, a board-certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, Certified Breastfeeding Specialist and mom of 3.

My career started in the NICU, caring for the smallest, most fragile babies. Then I became a mom myself and I found myself on the other side of it: sick baby, trying to figure out if this was a wait-it-out night or an ER night. I had the clinical training, and it still felt overwhelming.

That's the gap I built this practice to fill.

I started Home Base Pediatrics so families in New Jersey never have to face that moment alone. Whether it's a late-night text about a rash, a telemedicine visit for a stubborn cough, or an in-home visit when getting out the door just isn't possible, my goal is the same every time: help you make the right call, quickly and with confidence.

I don't believe every worried parent needs an ER visit and I don't believe every concern should wait until Monday. I believe families deserve a real answer whenever the need comes up.
