- Pediatric CareWe care about the health and well being of each and every child in our practice. We choose to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics schedule for immunizations. Our office policy is to immunize each child in our practice according to these guidelines. Therefore, if you choose not to vaccinate your child we will respectfully ask you to seek healthcare else where.
- Ear InfectionsNever take antibiotics to treat a cold because antibiotics do not kill viruses. You should use these prescription medicines only if you have a bacterial complication, such as sinusitis or ear infections. In addition, you should not use antibiotics "just in case" because they will not prevent bacterial infections, and there is a risk of having a reaction to the medication itself.
- Emergency CareWe are very excited to provide you with access to our patient portal. This will allow our patient's to view their medical records, print vaccine records, request appointments & prescription refills, etc on line. Please contact our office should you need assistance in logging onto the portal. THIS PORTAL SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR URGENT CARE ISSUES - PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE DIRECTLY.
- ImmunizationsWe are accepting new patients in both locations. We would be happy to schedule an appointment for you. To provide the best patient care it is helpful to have your medical and immunization records transferred to our office prior to an appointment.
