Services
Evaluation and treatment of acute illnesses
- Same day sick appointments are available.
Well child examinations - These
appointments follow the schedule recommended by the
AAP and are designed to address
age-specific topics. You will be able to discuss your child’s growth
and development and be given information pertaining to behavior,
developmental milestones, safety, and nutrition. A complete physical
exam and any necessary laboratory testing will be performed.
Immunizations are also given according to the current
schedule.
Immunizations - all recommended
vaccines are available. We also participate in the state VFC
(vaccines for children) program to provide immunizations to
uninsured children for a minimal administration fee. Florida has a
statewide computerized vaccine registry (Florida Shots) into which
we enter all vaccines. Flu vaccines are available every fall.
Laboratory testing - Onsite testing is
available for urinalysis, hemoglobin, pregnancy, glucose and rapid
testing for strep, flu, mono, and RSV. Other laboratory tests are
available at local commercial testing facilities.
Prenatal visits - we encourage
expectant families to schedule prenatal visits with our providers
for no charge.
Chronic disease management - Our board
certified pediatricians are well trained in the management of
chronic childhood illness such as asthma, diabetes, cerebral palsy,
spina bifida, sickle cell disease, and ADHD to name a few. We work
closely with pediatric sub-specialists to coordinate care in a
medical home environment.
Behavior and ADHD evaluations - These
lengthy appointments are used to evaluate behavior and school
problems. Please bring report cards and copies of any school testing
reports you may have.
Newborn circumcision – if your newborn is less than two weeks, circumcision can be
scheduled in the office. Please call the office for details.
Hospitals
Our physicians have hospital
privileges at Wolfson Children's Hospital and Orange Park
Medical Center. If you need to take your child to the emergency
room after-hours, we recommend using Wolfson. Their emergency room
is staffed by pediatric emergency room physicians and their support
staff is thoroughly trained in the specifics of pediatric illnesses
and treatments
In case your child requires admission to the hospital at Wolfson, we
utilize their hospitalist service. They have 24 hour coverage by
physicians who only practice in the hospital. They communicate with
us about your child’s condition, treatment plan and any followup we
need to coordinate.
