OFFICE HOURS

Our normal office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 am through 5:00 pm.  We have extended office hours, for acute illnesses, Monday through Thursday form 5pm through 6pm and on Saturdays from 8am through 1pm. Every attempt is made to see sick children the day you call. We request that you schedule well child exams and school and sports physicals several weeks in advance whenever possible. Saturday hours are generally reserved for sick children in the busy winter season. A limited number of well child exams and physicals are offered on Saturdays as the schedule permits.

WEEKENDS

The office is open on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1 p.m. Chronic, non-urgent medical problems are often better scheduled on weekdays. Saturdays are generally reserved for sick children but a limited number of well child exams are appointed as the season and schedule permits.

AFTER HOURS

A pediatrician is available whenever the office is closed for emergencies and questions that cannot wait for usual office hours. Please call our regular office phone number 851- 7865 to access the on call physician. Pediatric nurses often assist us in responding to your needs after hours. These nurses are extremely proficient in answering questions on fevers and common childhood illnesses.

PHYSICALS AND WELL CHILD EXAMS

The basis of good care is continuity and getting to know you and your family over time. This way we hopefully will prevent problems or catch them in the early stages. We encourage you to adhere to the recommended schedule for well child exams from birth through the teenage years. These well child exams are times to discuss problems with growth, feeding, sleeping, behavior, development, speech and language and to receive immunizations and have screening lab work, such as blood counts and urine studies.
NOTE: Sports physicals in older children and teens may be required yearly.

The usual schedule of well child exams is:
