Do we need to choose one doctor?To ensure continuity of care and foster an ongoing relationship, we recommend selecting the same pediatrician for your child’s wellness visits. If your primary doctor is unavailable for an unplanned visit, we will arrange a prompt appointment with another pediatrician in our group.
-
Do all the doctors work at both practice locations?Yes, all our doctors practice at both locations. Many patients prefer to see their primary physician at the same site, and we are happy to accommodate this. For specific schedules, please call us, as there may be adjustments due to vacations or other needs.
-
What’s the best way to reach you?The most effective way to reach us is by phone. During business hours, our receptionists handle administrative and scheduling questions, while our biller can assist with billing inquiries. For straightforward or follow-up medical questions, our experienced pediatric nurses are available throughout the day. If you have more complex questions or prefer to speak directly with a doctor, let us know, and we’ll direct your question appropriately.
-
What about televisits?While in-person visits are often preferred, we offer telemedicine options for certain situations, such as after-hours issues, when an in-person visit isn’t feasible, or if you need a consultation for a specific concern. We provide remote consultations via telephone, photo or video reviews, or video televisits.
