There are now several sites that you can help with accessing medical issues your child is having. They can help you at night to know if you can wait to see us tomorrow or need help now. Many people will find this more convenient than waiting for us to call back. If you need to contact us, please refer to the FAQ section of this site. Try this one for a start: Healthy Children which is run by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Summer Physical Time is HERE
Every August we get "emergency" calls for school physicals. Do not be "THAT" parent. Many insurance plans pay for a physical exam every calender year and it does not have to be a full year. If your insurance is one of them, let us get this out of the way at a time that is good for you this spring or at latest early summer. If you're unsure, call us and we will get the skinny for you.
