Request an Appointment

A pleasant visit builds trust and helps put the child at ease during future visits. We want your child to enjoy getting to know our doctors and staff, so we work hard to establish this bond during every appointment to our office. We look forward to meeting you and your child and providing the quality, comprehensive medical care you expect and deserve.

Our front desk staff will accommodate your desired physician and time to the best of their ability. If the visit is for a complex problem that may require more time, please let the receptionist know when you call, so we can allow an appropriate amount of time for your visit.

For Urgent Appointments

Children with acute problems who come to the office without appointments will be scheduled as soon as possible, but there may be a significant wait. For your own convenience, always call for an appointment before coming to the office. We can always work an extra patient into our schedule, provided we have some advanced notice. We will always try to see an urgent medical problem on the day you call. Please call well in advance for routine visits or non-emergency problems.

For After-Hours Care

In the event of drowning, unconsciousness, severe injury, or another life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately!

After-hours calls should be limited to emergencies as well as urgent conditions such as lacerations, very high fevers, difficulty breathing (not a stuffy nose), or severe pain. Questions regarding non-emergency problems such as colds, sore throats, low-grade fevers, mild flu symptoms, pinworms, diaper rash or minor injuries are best handled during our regular office hours.

If You Are Unsure What Kind of Care Your Child Needs

If you would like advice on how to care for your child, one of our telephone advice nurses can help. Our nurses are trained to make decisions about patient care that need to be seen by a physician and how to provide home care for children that may not need to be seen by a physician.
