Walk-in Visits Not Allowed
Our primary concern is the safe, efficient delivery of medical care for all of our patients. We do not have “Walk in Hours”.
We see our patients by appointment and do our best, within the limits of circumstances that we can control, to see our patients on time. We feel that patients deserve our attention during the appointment time we have reserved for them. We do not allow walk-in visits, as it interferes with our ability to deliver safe medical care in a timely manner to all of our patients. To that end, we request that all patients call for an appointment time before coming to our offices.
We DO have same day sick appointments available.
Emergencies
It is not appropriate to come to our office during a life threatening or potentially life-threatening situation. Anytime a parent feels that a life threatening medical condition is present, the appropriate course of action is to immediately call 911. EMTs responding can assess the situation and provide emergency care, and transport the patient to an Emergency Room for further evaluation. Coming to our office during an emergency willl needlessly delay adequate medical evaluation and treatment and may put your child in a dangerous situation.
If You Do Not Have an Appointment
If you arrive at our office without an appointment, you will be charged an additional processing fee. This is a non-covered service. We will have our staff assess your child and determine the urgency level of your child’s illness. We will then triage your child to an appropriate appointment time. You may be asked to return at another time or day. If we feel that the most appropriate and safest course of action is to have your child evaluated and/or treated in an emergency room, we will refer you accordingly.
