You have two choices to register your child with Anytime Pediatrics:
Option 1: For the best experience, visit the Anytime Pediatrics web portal. You must use the Google Chrome browser with a camera-enabled computer. https://portal.anytimepediatrics.com/
Option 2: If you prefer, you can download the Anytime Pediatrics app from the iOS or Android App store for free.
For either option, if asked, please remember the Practice Code is “9616”.
You can add all your children and all information and save it before the visit occurs or you can add other children when you have time.
You will have only one family login for all of your children.
How to have a great visit:
- Take your child’s temperature and weight and, if possible, height, prior to the visit. Here’s how you can do body measurements at home accurately for older children.
- For a baby’s weight, use this trick: weigh yourself holding your baby and again after you’ve placed them safely down. Subtract the two numbers and you’ll have a good estimate.
- You may want to take photos of rashes or other concerns that you can share with your clinician.
- Have good lighting. A flashlight helps for extra lighting during the visit.
- Make sure you are in a private place that is quiet.
- Have your child with you when you start the visit.
