OFFICE HOURS AND APPOINTMENTS

Our regular office hours are 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday. We urge you to call our offices during these hours when our staff is available to assist you. Please call early as appointments can fill quickly.

We will also offer emergency after hour services most Mondays through Thursdays and Saturday mornings starting at 8:00 am. This helps your family avoid costly inconvenient emergency rooms and urgent care centers for an acute illness that can not wait until normal office hours. We feel your child's health is best served at their medical home (their Pediatrician). Please, be aware that an after hours fee will be billed in addition to your office visit care for all appointments made outside of our regular office hours of 8:00 am - 4:30 pm Monday - Friday.

It is best to schedule Well-Check Up Visits 2-3 months in advance, particularly during the physical season, June - September. Failure to schedule with advance notice will greatly limit physician and time availability.

  
AFTER HOURS    

We recognize that children do not always become ill during regular office hours. We make ourselves available to you in the evenings, weekends, and holidays. One of our physicians is on call during these times when we are not in the office.

If your child is in an emergency situation, ALWAYS CALL 9-1-1 FIRST!

If your child has an urgent medical problem, you can reach the physician on call by calling our regular telephone number. (Unblocking your phone number before calling us can assist the physician in reaching you more efficiently.) Our voice mail system will alert the physician on call. Make sure you speak slowly and clearly and "repeat your phone number twice" with a brief description of your concern.

If you have not heard back from the physician within half an hour, please call us again as there may have been difficulties with delivery of your message. Remember to keep your phone line free until you have received a return call from us.

  
TELEPHONE
We have nurses available by telephone to answer your questions. They are specifically trained to counsel you, following guidelines set by the physicians. Our nurses will help with questions about infant feeding, child nutrition, behavior, growth and development. They will also advise you on the care of an ill child and help determine if your child needs to be examined by a physician.
  
PRESCRIPTION REFILLS

This voice mail box is accessible 24/7 at 614-882-3540. Requests will be completed by 24 business hours.

Annual Physical Exams and Timely Medication Checks are necessary for refills to be completed.
