Urgent Care and After Hours

Posted on: 07/03/2009

We have been noticing a concerning trend lately - more families are utilizing the emergency rooms for after hours care. 
We do not feel that this always provides pediatric-oriented care.  For example, often their dosages or choice of medication are not the current standard of care. 
Also, this fragmentation of medical care can lead to confusion and misdiagnosis.  We would like to remind everyone that we are available 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. 
We have evening hours Monday thru Friday as well as Saturday and Sunday morning hours in our Urgent Care clinic. You may call ahead to register or we also have walk-in appointments available.   We make every effort to see or arrange for medical care for all children as quickly as possible. At the present time due to the presence of swine flu, all hospitals and offices are overwhelmed. We apologize for any inconvenience and have hired an additional provider to help accommodate the increased demand. 
We know your children and they know us.  Please call us first!
