| CENTRAL
OHIO PRIMARY CARE |
 This
November, Associated Pediatrics aligns with
COPC (Central Ohio Primary Care).
Part
of this transition will include our adoption
of an EMR (Electronic Medical Record). Please
be patient with us, as this will require some
extra work on the part of both our office staff
and you, our patients.
To
expedite your first visit with our office after
EMR is here, having the
papers completed and all items initialed
before arriving for their appointments will
be very helpful. NOTE: Patient History
is not necessary for existing patients.
Thank
you!

Care Physician to see a specialist, be sure to let
us know well in advance to avoid being rescheduled
and for maximum coverage by your insurance. |

to one of our physicians on call after office hours.
They may very well save you a costly and inconvenient
trip to the hospital or confirm the need for immediate
medical care. |
