Same-day Sick Visits
The doctors have appointments available each day for same-day sick visits. We encourage you to call for an appointment as early as possible. These appointments can fill up quickly.
Well Care Appointments
Our schedule for Well Care is based on the guidelines established by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
For children under 2: The following visits are recommended for children under 2: Approximately 1 week, 1 month 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months,12 months, 15-18 months, and 2 years.
For children 2yrs to 5yrs: A yearly well care visit is recommended for children from 2 to 5 years.
For children over 5 years: We encourage yearly check-ups after age five. However some insurance companies will only cover check-ups every two years. Please check with your insurance company for the specifics of your plan.
Please schedule check-ups 2 to 4 weeks in advance. For children over the age of 12 we recommend that you schedule well care appointments for boys with Dr. Pete and girls with Dr. Michelle. However, please feel free to schedule your appointment with whom¬ever you feel most comfortable.
Other Appointments
Less urgent issues such as acne, warts or more chronic conditions (long standing abdominal pain or headaches, constipation, behavioral problems, eczema, etc.), should be scheduled in advance.
We will make every effort to have your child’s care provided by his/her pediatrician. If your doctor is not available, we will set up an appointment with our available doctor.
It’s the Law
The law requires that all patients be accompanied by parent or legal guardian to every appointment. We can accept a written note with your signature allowing a friend or family member to authorize care for your child. Patients between the ages of 16-18 years may be seen unaccompanied by an adult with the parent’s written permission.
