- Primary CareWe expect that youth will transition themselves to an adult primary care provider sometime between the ages of 18 and 22. NAP provides annual physicals for young adults up to and through the age of 22. Most adult primary care physicians require their first appointment to be an annual physical. Therefore, after age 22 patients can continue to see their pediatrician at NAP for medication recheck and acute sick visits, but will have time to complete the transition process in time for the 23 year annual physical to be performed by the new adult PCP.
- Family PracticePrimary care providers collaborate with our IBCLC to provide breastfeeding management and support to parenting families in order to promote best practice protocols for infant nutrition and family health.
- Emergency CareAll types of appointments, including regular check-ups, sick visits, and follow-up appointments, are scheduled during weekdays. However, we offer evening, weekend, and holiday hours at our pediatric office for children who are acutely ill or require emergency care.
- ImmunizationsWe work hard to ensure that your child receives prompt medical care in a comfortable, child-friendly office setting. To help expedite the first appointment, we ask that you please have any prior medical records, including immunization records, sent to our office at least 48 hours in advance. Please arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork regarding your family medical history, your child’s medical history and insurance information.

- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)Finally, for our patients who have ADHD treated with medication, there continues to be significant shortages of many of these medications nationwide. We are getting a lot of calls from families requesting a prescription be sent to a different pharmacy because the first pharmacy did not have it in stock. We are happy to help with this but ask that you please first call to make sure the alternative pharmacy does have your medication in stock, and then call or message our office with the new pharmacy information. This will lead to your child getting their medication as soon as possible as delays can happen every time you request a repeat prescription to be sent.
