Well
Child Care
Seeing
children and parents at regular intervals is important in maintaining your
child's health. Evaluating growth and development, discussing safety,
nutrition, behavior and answering age related questions are the functions
of well child/adolescent visits. We encourage the following schedule of
visits; (the ages mentioned are approximate):
During
some of these visits, immunizations will be given and routine laboratory
tests may be done. Vision and hearing tests are also given
regularly. We encourage advance scheduling of well childcare. For infants,
please schedule your next check up at the end of your visit.
Sick
Child Care
Although
we accept walk-ins, it is always better to call if you are bringing your
child in, so that we can provide you with a convenient appointment and so
we can have your child's chart available.
If
your child is already scheduled for a well child visit, but happens to be
sick, we can still do the checkup. If you have an additional sick
sibling, please call ahead so we can accommodate you.
After
Hours
We
are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Should you wish
to reach us when the office is closed, dial the office number
(305-285-2574) and the physician on call will be located. If
you are in a life threatening emergency, please dial 911.
After-hours
calls should be made only for acute illness or problems that need
immediate attention. Calls about mild illnesses and ongoing
conditions can usually wait until morning.
