Hilliard Pediatrics - Your Central Ohio Pediatrician

Keeping kids happy and healthy since 1990




Hilliard Pediatrics has been serving the Central Ohio community for over 30 years. We treat patients from birth through High School. At Hilliard Pediatrics, we believe in treating each child as an individual.   We strive to maximize each child's health within their unique circumstances. Our team is committed offering excellent care and advice when your child is sick or well.


We have numerous protocols that have been written by our Pediatricians and are a great resource for families. They address common childhood illnesses and injuries such as common colds, sore throats, and ear infections. Protocols include symptom checklists, when to seek care, treatment options, and preventive tips. In addition the resources found on our website, we have pediatric trained nurses available during regular business hours to provide advice or schedule your child for an appointment with one of our providers if necessary.




Update: Hilliard Pediatrics will be in network with CareSource Ohio Medicaid effective January 1, 2026. This applies only to Ohio Medicaid CareSource plans. We will continue to remain out of network with CareSource Marketplace plans, other Medicaid managed care plans, or traditional Ohio Medicaid at this time.  Please note, we are not able to administer vaccines for CareSource Medicaid at this time.  We are still waiting on the State of Ohio to approve our VFC application.  We are hopeful to get this resolved in the next couple of months.


Hepatitis B Vaccine Information:


With so much discussion in the news and on social media, it’s natural to have questions about Hepatitis B. The vaccine is safe and effective, and the American Academy of Pediatrics and our physicians continue to recommend it for all children, including the birth dose. We’re here to guide you and answer any questions about the timing and schedule of the vaccine.


Looking for more information? Dr. Tricia has written a detailed, family-friendly overview of Hepatitis B vaccination and what parents should know.

Beyfortus - RSV Monoclonal Antibody


There is a newer drug that can help protect infants from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Beyfortus.  It is not a vaccine, but rather a preventive drug that offers passive immunity. For healthy children, Beyfortus can only be given through 7 months of age. To learn more about this new drug along with details on who it is recommended for and insurance coverage, visit our dedicated page here.  Please note we are only administering Beyfortus to patients of Hilliard Pediatrics.

Meet the Providers - Dr. Will Crecelius


Dr. (John) Will Crecelius joined the Hilliard Pediatrics team in 2024.  We asked Dr. Will a couple questions to help everyone get to know him.  Here are his answers. 


Favorite place to visit? Any place with a beach, but I love going new places! I visited 5 different countries last year. I like to fly fish and explore new places on my paddle board.


What are you currently excited about? I just bought a 1979 Ford Bronco that I am fixing up with my dad. Saw it on the side of the road in West Virginia and it was love at first sight. If anyone has an oil recommendation for an engine with flat tappets and a catalytic converter, let me know!


Dr. Will is accepting new patients and newborns. Check out his video bio or our Meet Our Providers page to learn more.
