Types of Visits

Please discuss with the receptionist what kind of appointment you will need so that the proper amount of time can be allotted to your child. We kindly ask that you be prompt and let us know at least 24 hours in advance if you must cancel your appointment. A charge may be incurred for appointments not cancelled.

New patients need to register prior to making an appointment.

Well-visit

Please note that if an abnormality is encountered or a pre-existing problem is addressed during a Well-visit, a separate office code may be needed as two services were performed. Your insurance company may apply a co-pay, co-insurance or deductible to this portion of the visit.
