Routine Physical Check Ups and Sick Appointments – All office visits are scheduled on an appointment basis only.
General Information and FAQ’s about appointments
Well visits, especially from infancy through the pre-school years are important! They allow frequent assessment of your child’s growth and development, and regular immunization. More importantly, however, they provide a time to discuss your questions and concerns and help prepare you for future developmental stages and routine illnesses.
Scheduling physical exam appointments in advance will allow you to choose an appointment time which is most convenient for you.
We make every effort to honor all time commitments and we request that you extend the same courtesy. If you are more than 30 minutes late for a scheduled physical exam appointment, we may reschedule the appointment for a later date.
As a rule, we will only schedule two physical exam appointments per family per day. However, if you have triplets less than 18 months old,we will see them together.
As a courtesy, our offices will confirm all physical exam appointments 48 hours in advance. If you must cancel your appointment, you must call at least 24 hours in advance, or you will be assessed a missed appointment fee.
Regular well-child exams are routinely scheduled at two weeks, four weeks, then at 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24, and 36 months. Thereafter exams are scheduled yearly. Well-child exams at 21 and 30 months are optional and may not be covered by your insurance company. Please note, the 2 month, 6 month, 12 month, 4 year and 11 year visits must be on or after the child’s birthday due to immunization schedules.
