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 Visits

We 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.

If you would like us to see more than one child, please schedule both of them when you make your appointment. Without an appointment, we may not be able to see a sick sibling right away, and you may be asked to wait while the provider sees a scheduled patient who may be waiting.

Walk-Ins

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.

Emergencies

If 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.

  • For routine well visits and for new patient visits, we ask that you please arrive 15 minutes early to complete forms and register insurance information. Complete forms prior to arrival.
  • For routine well visits, sports and school physicals, we recommend scheduling these in advance (3 months) to ensure your choice of appointment dates and times. We cannot guarantee well visit appointments on short notice. Most insurance companies require a full calendar year between well visit appointments for children over 2 years.
  • If you have forms for school, sports or daycare, please give them to the staff upon arrival, so that we may complete them in a timely fashion.
  • For consult appoinments - behavior, ADD/ADHD, medication consults, and other longer appointments, please try to schedule these with 2-4 weeks notice, as our physicians can only do a certain number of these lengthy visits each week.
  • We are happy to schedule appointments for you to meet our doctors, either as a "Prenatal Visit", or as a new patient coming to "Meet the Doc". We try to schedule these visits at times when our doctors can spend a good amount of time with you, to introduce themselves and our practice to you, and to answer any questions you may have.
  • Please remember to bring current idenitification and a copy of your current insurance card to every visit.
  • Please make sure that your physicians name, phone and correct address appears on your insurance card.
Cancellations and No-Shows
If you need to cancel an appointment, please notify our office as soon as possible. If a WELL VISIT OR CONSULT appoitnment is missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, you may be charged a $25 fee. FOR SICK, FOLLOW-UP, OR SAME DAY VISITS, WE REQUIRE NO LESS THAN 3 HOURS NOTICE PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED VISIT FOR ANY CANCELLATION. IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE US WITH ADEQUATE NOTICE, YOU MAY BE CHARGED A $25 FEE.

We have a strict no-show policy at this office: In the event of 3 no-show visits, with no calls of cancellation 24 hrs prior, you may be dismissed from the practice. WE CREATED THESE POLICIES TO BEST BE ABLE TO ACCOMODATE ALL OF OUR PATIENTS, AND TO PROVIDE SAME DAY SERVICE FOR ANY PATIENT IN NEED OF AN OFFICE VISIT. IF WE HAVE LAST MINUTE CANCELLATIONS OR NO SHOWS, THESE ARE APPOINTMENTS WE COULD BE PROVIDING TO OUR PATIENTS IN NEED.
