Are We a Good Fit?

Our Vaccine Policy follows the schedule outlined by the American Academy of Pediatrics. We ask all our patients to follow the schedule we use at our office. If you do not plan on vaccinating your child with our recommended schedule, we ask that you seek alternative care that is a better fit for you and your family. We do not partake in alternate schedules. If your child has a medical contraindication such as chemotherapy, immunosupression or other medical concerns, we follow the recommended guideline for vaccine administation from the AAP.  We feel a strong responsibility to protect our community from vaccine preventable diseases. 

We strive to avoid overusing antibiotics by educating families on their proper use and following evidence-based guidelines to ensure responsible prescribing. Many cases are viral and do not require antibiotic treatment. Instead, our pediatricians take the time to explain alternative approaches and the importance of allowing the body to heal naturally when appropriate. 

Additionally, we do not routinely prescribe antibiotics over the phone, as we strongly believe it is not sound medical practice to do so without a proper assessment. Antibiotics are only prescribed when deemed necessary and appropriate after a thorough evaluation, prioritizing the well-being of our patients while avoiding the risks of antibiotic resistance and unnecessary side effects.

We work hard to provide comprehensive medical care and serve as your medical home. To that end, we urge you to contact our office FIRST before seeking specialty care or heading to another provider for urgent care. We want to be involved in either providing care in our office where appropriate or referring you to the most appropriate specialist and helping coordinate your care.

Whenever you do see a specialist, we ask that you request a report be sent directly to our office so we may stay informed and have the most up-to-date information in your child’s medical record.

Our practice prides itself on efficiency through the use of technology. Where applicable, you will be encouraged to consult our website, register for and use our patient portal, and effectively use automated reminders for appointments and routine care/immunizations that are due. We utilize telemedicine for selected appointments. Contact our office for further information. 

We make every effort to meet the needs of our patients, offering both routine well child visits and sick child visits. 

We offer Quick Sick Walk In Visits Monday through Friday starting at 7am and ending at 815am.  

We ask that you call our office for an appointment for your child for ailments such as migraines/headaches, abdominal pain, anxiety , depression, follow up from hospital or ER visits or symptoms present more than 2 weeks.  Those visits need more time that we cannot provide during the walk-in hours. Please call our office to schedule appointments. 

We offer extended same day evening hours for sick visits to accomodate working families. 

Call our office to schedule. Appointments are typically available between 530pm-630pm Monday through Thursday. Office closes at 430pm on Fridays.  

Weekends are open Saturday AND Sunday  at 9am for urgent/sick visits only. We ask you call our office at 9am to schedule your child to be seen. Please avoid walking in on the weekend as we are only open for need and you may miss us.

If you need assistance after hours, our dedicated team is available 24/7/365 to provide after hours phone advice. Call our main office number for urgent concerns only. 

Please save non-urgent concerns like mild illness, appointment requests, and prescription refills for regular office hours.

We encourage you to visit our child health resources for helpful information before calling our after-hours clinician.

Please ensure we participate with your insurance plan. It is your responsibility to understand the limits and coverage of your health insurance policy. Please present your insurance cards at each visit and be prepared to pay any copays at the time of service.

While our billing staff can assist with insurance inquiries, it's best to contact your insurance company directly for specific coverage questions. We strive to avoid any billing surprises, but we must bill your health plan according to federal guidelines and the actual services rendered.

Insurance copays should be paid at the time of service. If that's not possible, please contact the billing department before your visit to arrange a payment plan.

For sick visits, our office is available for same day acute sick visits. Please contact our office directly to schedule these appointments same day. 

For well-child visits, chronic medical issues and routine medication checks these visits will be scheduled with your primary care pediatrician. Please call our office at your convenience to schedule these visits.  We encourage all our patients to have their physicals booked ahead of time and require that our patients stay up-to-date with well-child visits at our practice. We also strongly encourage scheduling your next appointment at "check-out" for physicals and medication checks to stay on track. 

We value everyone's time equally. Please arrive 5 minutes before your appointment. 

While we understand that delays can happen, we may ask late arrivals to reschedule. 

Our practice strives to run on time, and missed appointments affect our clinicians, staff, and other patients. Multiple missed appointments without notifications may be subject to discharge from practice. Please utilize our care management resources to avoid this. Call our office to speak to our care manager if you need help  with transportation or other circumstances affecting your appointment compliance.
