Since we share your interest and concern in getting a sick child seen, we ask for you to please call early during office hours and we will make every effort to offer you an appointment on that day. Well child appointments typically require advance planning.

Certain times of the year are peak times for certain types of visits. For example, it seems that everyone needs a checkup during the summer months. On the other hand, winter is extremely busy for us because of all the winter illnesses. We plan our schedule accordingly, leaving large blocks of time for sick visits in the winter and check-ups in the summer.

We try to accommodate ourselves to your needs and preferences. Our appointments are scheduled to respect your time. We ask that you show the same respect for our time. We carefully arrange our schedule in an effort to efficiently optimize your time here. We reserve a dedicated amount of time for each visit, and reserve large blocks of time for complex issues or annual check-ups (often as much as 30 minutes). We appreciate your promptness and consideration in arriving at your scheduled time. However, if you need to change an appointment, a 24 hour notice is requested. Missed appointments without proper notice will result in a significant missed appointment fee, depending upon the appointment type missed.

We do have weekend clinic appointments available for minor emergencies (Saturday 10:00 a.m.-12:00p.m & Sunday 2:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.). We recommend that you do not take your child to any other after-hours clinic, urgent care center, or retail based clinic. We want your child to receive consistent, high-quality, non-fragmented, continuous care. For that reason, our office is open approximately 360 days per year.

If your insurance company does not cover weekend after hours fees, there is a $20 surcharge that you will be responsible for at the time of the visit. This fee will not be filed to your insurance company. If you are not sure if your insurance company covers this fee, please do not hesitate to ask at the time of your visit.
