So that we may best accommodate our patients, we ask that you please call us at least six weeks before your child needs to be seen for School, Sports and Camp physicals. June, July and August are our busiest months for physicals. The earlier you can call to schedule these appointments, the better the selection of times you will have to choose from. Please also check all forms to confirm the date last physical is required. Patient’s last physical may satisfy requirements and a new physical may not be necessary. Verify and understand your coverage as some insurance companies may not cover a second physical within the same year.

Travel Advice
Illness is not uncommon while traveling overseas so preparation can be an effective method of prevention. If possible, it is best to schedule a pre-travel consultation one month before departure. Our travel advice visits are tailored to your trip’s itinerary and includes proper immunizations as well as advice against insect bites and repellants, traveler’s diarrhea prevention and treatment, tuberculosis risk assessment, preventative measures for ear and sinus infections, motion sickness prevention and treatment as well as medications for jet lag.
In addition to routine immunizations like the flu, meningitis, Hepatitis A and B vaccines, we offer the pneumonia vaccine, typhoid vaccine and prescription medications to prevent malaria. Due to the national shortages of the yellow fever vaccine, we are currently not offering this vaccine at our office. More details on Travel Advice here.
