Charles A Woods, MD

My babies Pediatrician at Ffld Pediatrics year of1985 plus..RIP Dr. Woods..

I just wanted to add one more 'vodka in the ear' story as I remember our wonderful, and caring pediatrician. My 4 month old son began screaming on a flight to Florida to visit my parents and continued to scream for the next hour. In desperation, I called Dr. Woods quite late at night with my screaming son at my hip. Dr. Woods told me to put vodka in his ear and I thought I misheard him through the screaming. So he screamed back...'Put Vodka in his ear!' 'Put Vodka in his ear?' 'Yes, put Vodka...

May Dr. Woods rest in peace and may his memory continue to be a blessing. He was our well loved and respected Doctor in Fairfield for many years. I got the allergy shots and felt very cared for and so did my brother. I had the unique experience of bringing my son to see Dr. Woods when he had a cold, thirty plus years later!

Rest in peace Dr Woods. My pediatrician as well as my 2, now adult, daughters. What a special human he was.

My condolences to the Woods family. I was scrolling passed issues of the Fairfield Citizen online and saw Dr. Woods obit. He was my children's Dr from the mid 70's till they "aged out". I'll share a short story - while I was pregnant with my first in 1974, my husband and I went to a class he was giving at Park City Hospital. I remember him say, "If you want to have 2 children, have 3. Then throw away the first because of all the mistakes you'll make!" And boy did I make mistakes! RIP Dr....

My sister Jean Gallinelli forwarded Dr. Woods obit with his smiling, fresh air photo and beautifully written summation of a life, truly, well-lived. I loved reading about his old-school doctoring...a little alcohol in the ear to cure what ails ya. We've certainly heard a lot about the amazing Chris' work at Real Data to keep things going for so many years. Sincere condolences to family and friends. What a special man. I'd love to know the name of the resort in western Mass where he met...

So very sorry to hear of your loss, Jon, and family. Your father wasn´t just a great pediatrician to so many including us, your parents were early and long friends of my parents since we arrived in Fairfield in 1966. Many laughs shared. And a lot of strep swabs!

Very sad for the Woods family upon reading the loss of your dad, Charles Woods. To my family, he was Dr Woods, beloved pediatrician to our daughters, Aileen, Cara, and Margaret. When Aileen was 5 years old, she had an unmistaken earache. We lived in Milford and it occurred at night on the weekend in the middle of a snowstorm. There were no 24 hour pharmacies then, but it mattered little. It was one of those snowstorms where no one was going anywhere. We called the on-call and luckily, Dr...

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I have great memories of Charles, Shirley, Rob and I sailing here on the Chesapeake Bay plus other great memories in Fairfield, CT. He was a wonderful Pediatrician and friend.
