Flu Update
We have plenty of flu vaccine for all ages, seasonal and H1N1. We are hearing from the E.R.'s that there is more Flu in the community. Call or E-mail to schedule your child's vaccination or second dose if needed. The vaccines are only available for a few months and will expire. See NEWS for more details.
Walk-in Clinic News
Our walk-in clinic, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from 8AM to 9 AM, is primarily for problems or infections which have just appeared over the past day, especially when decisions need to be made by you for school or daycare attendance. In order for us to reduce your wait time on these mornings, we ask that you use the walk-in clinic for the following kinds of problems:
* Sore Throats Rashes Cough
* Fever Wheezing Recent injury
* Earaches Vomiting Pink Eye
* Diarrhea
* Or anything else that may have started that day or the day before clinic and needs quick attention.
We ask that you telephone to schedule same-day appointments or telephone/E-mail to schedule appointments for other problems that are less urgent or may have been around for a while , such as:
* Sleep problems Headaches for a while
* School Problems Stomach Aches for a while
* Constipation Behavioral Problems
* Feeding or Eating Problems
These kinds of issues are important and require more time to evaluate and manage properly and thus are best scheduled. We will, as always, continue to see your child any day he or she needs to be seen. Our goal is to continue to improve our service to you, particularly on busy mornings. Your help in following these guidelines will be much appreciated by all.

Fill out internet patient registration information only after calling by telephone to schedule first appointment and confirm insurance coverage. We ask that you allow is 24-48 business hours to process your online requests, thus no emergent requests please. We are still available by phone!
For current patients creating an account, a few important tips:
* Do not create an account for the parents, only accounts for each child individually.
* Create your first child’s account. You will be asked to complete a demographics page. Have insurance card information ready. It will take about 10 minutes.
* Next, after you create your first child’s account, go to “My Patient Page” and click on “manage my family account”. You will then choose to add another dependent and create accounts for each of your other children. We will ask for a separate login/password for each child, but the accounts are linked so you will only need to use your first child’s login/password for all of your children’s accounts.
* When you wish to use the site to make a request, notice that your first child’s login/password that you used to login is the “myself’ listed under “Active Account”. Use the drop down menu to change active account from myself to any other of your children for whom you wish to make a request.
