Our Services

We offer appointments each day for a variety of needs, including newborn visits, well-child visits, hospital follow-ups, behavioral health consultations (including ADD/ADHD diagnosis and management), asthma care, and same-day sick visits. If your child needs additional behavioral health services, we can help connect your family with an appropriate specialist.
Dental varnish is available during well-child visits for our younger patients, and our onsite lab provides a variety of diagnostic tests.
Our care team also includes telephone triage nurses, including RNs and LPNs, who are available to answer questions about your child’s health. When our office is closed, pediatric nurses are available by phone for unexpected late-evening or early-morning concerns. One of our physicians is always on call and is available to the triage service when needed.

PRESCRIPTION REFILLS
Prescription refills may be requested via telephone or in the office. Prescription refills may be requested by 3:00pm daily (Monday – Friday) to be available by 10:00am the next weekday morning (in most cases). Please note: prescription refill requests for ADD/ADHD medication require at least 3 days advanced notice (due to the fact that the attending physician must provide the refill prescription). Prescription refill requests will not be addressed outside of regular business hours. You can also request prescription refills through the portal.

WELL CHILD EXAMS
Routine appointments generally follow the recommended immunization schedule: newborn, 2-months, 4-months, 6-months, 9-months, 12-months, 15-months. Toddlers return at 18-months, 24 months, 30 months. Children age 3 and older are seen yearly. Interperiodic and sports physicals are also available in our health maintenance scheduling.
