FAQs
Do you have same-day in-person or virtual appointments?
Yes, we offer same-day in-person and virtual appointments because we understand that life with kids can be unpredictable. You can connect virtually with our team from anywhere, which offers a trusted way to get support from the comfort of your home or mobile device. Call our clinic to schedule your child's visit today.
How much does a pediatric well visit cost?
The cost of a pediatric well visit depends on your insurance coverage and what happens during the visit. Many plans cover well-child visits at no extra cost. If you’re unsure, your insurance provider can explain what your plan includes so you know what to expect.
Do you provide urgent after-hours care?
If your child needs same-day and after-hours treatment of non-emergency medical conditions and you’re unable to schedule an appointment at our facility, you can visit our urgent care center. Conveniently open seven days a week from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., our urgent care specialists treat a range of conditions such as flu, colds, cuts and fractures.
