Welcome to 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.

      Hilliard Pediatrics has been serving the Central Ohio community for over 30 years. 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.


      Under our protocols section you will find a number of articles addressing common childhood illnesses and injuries. These protocols were written by our physicians and are a great resource for our families. Under our resources tab you can find more about childhood vaccinations, a list of referrals and commonly requested forms. 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.




      Measles Outbreak


      With the recent measles outbreaks, we have been getting a lot of questions about what parents need to know to keep their kids safe and whether they can receive the MMR vaccine early. While there are numerous local outbreaks of measles in the United States and an outbreak in Northeast Ohio, we have not yet had any cases in Franklin County in 2025. As a result, the recommendation for Central Ohio is to continue to follow the routine immunization schedule for MMR vaccination unless you are traveling to an outbreak county as defined by the CDC. For more information, please check out our Measles page. We will do our best to keep this page updated as the situation continues to evolve.




      Two-Way Texting

      Hilliard Pediatrics now has two-way texting capabilities.  If you have a non-urgent question or would like to schedule your child for an appointment, you can now send a text message to 614-500-4045.  Please include your child's name, DOB, and your relationship to the child along with a brief description of your question or reason for scheduling and a staff member will respond to your text during regular business hours.




      Online Scheduling

      We are now offering online scheduling for select well and follow-up appointments.  Please be aware that the system may send the appointment confirmation to the other phone number on file so please check with the other parent if you do not receive the confirmation text.
