  I love coming to see my doctor!  
Lab Work:
We offer on site basic blood work, urinalysis and strep testing (including cultures). On site mono testing is also available, along with testing for Influenza Types A and B.
Patient Records:
For those interested in transferring to our practice, we encourage you to request copies of your children's records prior toHey wait, I wanna read that! your first appointment at our office. You can have them mailed to us, or pick them up yourself and bring them with you to the appointment. A form for this request is available to print out on the "Forms" page, or you can complete one at your previous doctor's office.
Donations:
We welcome donations of diapers (any size or brand), baby wipes, and unused pacifiers to have on site for "emergencies." (Like when the diaper bag gets left in the car, or supplies run low at the end of a long day!) These items are not sampled, but we like to keep them on hand, just in case!
We LOVE the Treasure Box!
We also will gladly accept unopened cans of formula that we can pass along to other families whenever possible. Given the price of formula, we really hate for such to go to waste!
 

Children's movies on DVD (New or Used) are also very much appreciated.

Remember, unless it is a true emergency, please call our office before deciding to go to the ICC or ER, especially during daytime hours! One of us sees patients from noon to 1 almost every day, when many other offices are closed for lunch, and the other often will stay later than 5 pm if you call early enough for us to adjust our schedule.

April 12, 2011
We recommend scheduling annual physical exams now, as they can be used to complete those summer camp and sports forms that get forgotten about until they are suddenly due the next day!  While those "$25 Same Day Physicals" might sound like a great deal, problems in growth and development of your child cannot be captured in a single visit by someone who is not familiar with their past medical history! 

Remember, there are a lot of preventive health issues to cover at a well check up, so if you have specific medical concerns about your child, please let us know ahead of time! They may need to be discussed or addressed at a separate "sick" visit, and sometimes scheduled sooner than the check up.  This is not just an attempt to bill for more visits ... we simply can only cover so much in a defined amount of time, and do not want to inconvenience other patients who have appointments after yours!

Updated and Reformatted the FORMS Page.  Changed file types to make printing easier. If you encounter problems, please let us know!

July 1, 2009: New recommendations from the  AAP include keeping children REAR FACING in car seats until 2 years old. The previous recommendation was 1 year and 20 pounds, so this is quite significant for parents to know about when buying a car seat! Click HERE and HERE for details. Check out the fish tank!
