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.
