Call us in advance if you must cancel your appointment. Your cooperation allows us to use this time to see a another child.

Be on time for your appointment. We believe your time is valuable, and we strive to see you and your child at the scheduled time. If you are late for an appointment we may ask you to reschedule your appointment. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call in advance to let us know, allowing us to schedule another patient. Not calling to cancel an appointment may result in termination of services.

before your child’s visit

Triage Nurse Telephone Care
Our nursing staff is trained to handle routine questions and help determine if an appointment is needed or if advice can be given over the telephone. Our nursing staff will also determine if your physician’s involvement is necessary in answering the question. The nurses will discuss your questions with your physician between patient examinations and call you back with their instructions. This allows a quick response to your questions. All calls to our nurse line will be returned the same day. If the nurse determines your physician needs to speak to you, the physician will return your call over the lunch hour or at the end of the day. Calls are processed in that way to keep our physicians on time for scheduled appointments.
