| Appointments To help provide timely service to our patients, we prefer to schedule all visits. If you are later than 20 minutes for your appointment, we will try to work you back into the schedule, or perhaps offer an appointment to you with another provider. Out of courtesy to our other patients, we may be forced to ask you to reschedule your appointment. Sick Child VisitsWe make every effort to schedule appointments for ill children on the day that you call us. Please call our office ahead of time so that we can minimize the time that you will spend waiting. If you have a medical emergency during office hours, we will do our best to see your child immediately or refer you to the appropriate facility.
We offer Walk-In hours Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. ONLY. Please use these times for any same day sick walk-in appointments. All other office visits will require an appointment except in the case of an emergency. WE DO NOT OFFER WALK-IN HOURS ON SATURDAYS, ALL SATURDAY VISITS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. EmergenciesIf an emergency should arise, please call 911. Emergencies are considered to be those conditions that are life-threatening: loss of consciousness, severe bleeding, seizure, etc. In the case of minor emergencies (lacerations, cuts, mild fractures, sprains), please call our office first for instructions. | Office Hours Mon-Thurs 7:30am to 7:00pm Friday 7:30am to 5:00pm Saturday 9am - 12noon Sunday Closed Office calls are taken by answering service after regular office hours. Please call during these office hours to set up appointments or to speak with our staff.
