Appointments
At your child’s appointment, we look forward to ensuring that your child’s needs are addressed thoroughly and thoughtfully.
Please share your goals for your visit when you speak with our schedulers to ensure the proper visit type is scheduled.
Types of Visits
Well Child Visits (typically starting at 2 weeks of age once an infant’s lab work and weight is stable) are usually not subject to your deductible.
These visits should be scheduled at least 3 weeks in advance, especially if you would like to see a particular Nurse Practitioner or Doctor. Our Routine Checkup and Immunization Schedule helps ensure children receive excellent preventative care. For parent and patient convenience, in order to ensure that Sports Participation forms can be completed at the time of Check Ups, we encourage our parents of school age children to have their Well Child Checks scheduled during the summer months, after May 1.
Please be aware that if a patient is seen for both a Well Child Check and management of another significant problem (new or chronic), insurance contracts require that we charge for all services provided. This may result in an additional co-pay or charges toward your deductible as determined by your insurance company.
The Pediatric Center offers same day sick appointments. Phone lines open at 7:00 am daily. If your child is sick or has ear pain, a sore throat, rash, etc., please call us so that you can come in early… we can help your child feel better quickly and you can get a good start on your day.
In some instances, you may have to be “worked in” to our schedule. This occurs when the schedules are fully booked or busier than usual (usually during flu and check up seasons); therefore, wait times can vary greatly.
These visits vary depending on the circumstances. Please speak with the front office staff to schedule the appropriate visit.
These should be made a day or two before surgery and scheduled in advance. We do understand some emergency surgeries occur, therefore we will do our best in trying to work you into the schedule.
Examinations for Sports Physicals must be completed after the school mandated date of May 1 for the following school year. If the patient is due for a Check Up, the Sports Physical can be completed with the Well Child Check appointment. For patients whose Well Child Checks were completed before May 1, the schools will not allow us to use that physical exam to document readiness to participate in sports during the following school year. In those cases, we will schedule a Sports Physical exam and complete the Sports Participation form for a flat fee of $40.
The prenatal meet and greet visit is an excellent opportunity for you to meet some of the physicians who will be caring for your child. This visit is a good time to inquire about the doctor’s philosophy of caring for infants, children and teens, and to learn details about how the office operates. It is a good opportunity for your doctor to get to know you as well.
Please contact our centralized scheduling department at 804-266-9616 and press OPTION 1 to register.
These visits will be held virtually through telemedicine with one of our physicians. When you call to register, we’ll let you know how to access the appointment through Anytime Pediatrics.
Saturday Sick Clinics are held at our VCC Office. Walk-ins are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Our phones on Saturday are open from 8:30-11:30 AM.
If your child is feeling under the weather and our offices are closed, please call our After Hours service and our on-call provider will guide you to the right care: 804-257-5335.
