Sick Child Visits
Same Day Sick Visits
If your child is sick, call our office or schedule online for an appointment. In most cases we should be able to see your child the same day.
Weekend Appointments
We understand that illnesses and injuries don’t always happen during regular office hours. That’s why we offer after-hours sick visits on weekdays, weekends, and most holidays.
To view available appointments and self-schedule, please visit the Patient Portal.
Office Precautions
To maximize the health and safety off all of our patients, we are continuing the following precautions in our office:
-
All patients 4 years and up who are having fever, respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms should ideally mask during their visit. Symptomatic caregivers of these children should also mask.
-
Respiratory symptoms include runny nose, cough, sore throat or ear pain. Gastrointestinal symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
-
Physicians and staff will mask when patients and families are masked.
Minor Procedures
If your child has had a minor accident, check with us before going to urgent care or the emergency room.
