- Primary CareIt depends on the type of appointment. Well visits are scheduled in advance, so yes, appointments are scheduled with your selected primary care provider. When your child is sick, our focus is to have your child seen that day. So for same day sick or if you are taking advantage of our walk in sessions, we cannot guarantee the appointment will always be with your child’s primary care provider.

- ImmunizationsSome caregivers may also feel that polio, tetanus, whooping cough, meningitis, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella are rare diseases that their child is unlikely to come in contact with, so they are “safe” in declining vaccinations. However, vaccination programs only work well when as many people as possible in a community are immunized. This is called “herd immunity” and it protects children and adults who are unable to receive the vaccines because they are too young, too old, or have weakened immune systems. In order for herd immunity to work effectively, 90% of people in a community must be vaccinated. Because of the refusal and delay in giving life-saving vaccines to children, herd immunity in our country has dipped dangerously below 90%, putting everyone at risk of illness or death.

- AutismCaregivers may feel that the decision to immunize their child is a personal one and they should not be required to immunize. However, the decision not to immunize affects not just the health of an individual child, but the health and well-being of other children and adults. All decisions have risks and benefits associated with them. The decision not to immunize a child requires parents to accept the risk that their child, or others, could suffer the crippling or deadly effects of a vaccine-preventable disease. As health care providers, we know based on the medical data that the benefits of immunizing children and adolescents far outweighs any perceived or unproven risks of harm. Vaccines produced today are safer and more effective than they have ever been. There is very solid, reliable medical evidence that vaccines do not cause Autism or any other developmental disabilities. Vaccines also don’t contain any harmful toxins.
