Choosing your child's primary care pediatrician
We encourage you to identify one member of our group as your child's primary care provider (PCP) for yearly routine check-ups and physicals. During times of illness, our schedules allow for great flexibility to accommodate your needs, including evening and Saturday appointments.
When you make your child’s appointment, please let our staff know about any concerns you have about your child's health so sufficient time can be scheduled for your child’s office visit.
Emergency appointments
Emergency appointments are available to accommodate unexpected illness. A pediatrician is on-call 24 hours a day for emergencies.
Our office will do everything we can so that your child can be seen by their PCP, but if your PCP is unavailable, another provider will be.
Cancellation policy
As a courtesy to all of our patients, we ask that families notify our office 24 hours in advance if your child cannot keep a scheduled appointment.
Research
We partner with the Pediatric Research Consortium (PeRC). If you are interested in participating in a study, speak to your provider about research projects that may be a fit for your family.
