Sick Child Visits

Sick Child Visits

We know that when your child is sick, you worry about his or her health. Sometimes you want to have them seen right away to make sure it’s not serious. So you will not have to go to the ER, we offer same day sick appointments for children.

Our Policy

Established patients of our practice who call ahead for a “sick visit” appointment by 3:00 PM on weekdays will be offered an appointment time before we close for the day.

Please Note:  We will try our best to accommodate you, but we can’t guarantee that the time will be your first choice. We must offer appointment slots on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure your babysitter knows to call you before 3:00 pm if your child gets sick.

Your appointment may be scheduled with any of our providers. If you have a preference, we will certainly try to accommodate it. However, if one physician is at the hospital, completely booked, etc., we will schedule your appointment with another.

If you are more than 30 minutes late for your appointment, we cannot guarantee that you will be seen.

You must call ahead. “Drop-ins” aren’t fair to families who have called.

If we are very busy, we reserve the right to determine what constitutes an urgent sick visit. Visits that are not considered urgent, such as well-baby checks, bedwetting, etc., may be asked to schedule another day so we can work in truly ill children.
