Saturday Appointments
Phone lines open at 7:30 am and we operate on a limited schedule. Because we operate with a limited schedule we may require that you speak with our triage nurse for scheduling. Illness within our community fluctuates and because of that, it is often unpredictable when we will experience an increase in appointment demand. If your child is sick we ask that you please do not wait until Saturday morning to call for a same-day appointment. We offer same-day appointments throughout the week and would like to get your child feeling better as soon as possible!

Late Arrivals & Missed Appointments

If you arrive for your appointment time more than 10 minutes late, there is a chance that we will not be able to accommodate you. If you are running late please call us ahead of time so we can determine if your child can still be seen despite a late arrival, or if it is necessary for us to reschedule your appointment to a later time or another day.

Appointments that are canceled less than 24 hours in advance or that are no-showed are subject to a $50-$75 fee for sick (regular/detailed) visits and a $100 fee will be assessed for annual well-child examinations, pre-ops, behavioral consults, and medication checks. Nutrition visits are subject to a $50-$100 missed or late cancellation fee and Psychiatry appointments are subject to a $75-$150 missed or late cancellation fee. Patients who have an excessive amount of late missed or combination of will be subject to discharge from the practice.
