WELL CHILD VISITS

As children grow, they go through many different phases and changes. This development is vital to their well-being.

That’s why one of the services we offer is well child visits. These are regular appointments that don’t have anything to do with your child being sick or unwell. We’ll simply evaluate their growth and development to ensure that everything is on track.

SICK CHILD VISITS

We also offer sick child visits for the times that your child does feel unwell. From simple colds or coughs to more urgent emergencies, we have the experience and training to handle it all.

For emergencies, we will do our best to see your child right away. If that’s not possible, we’ll quickly refer you to an appropriate facility so that your child gets the attention they need as soon as possible.

They can also help you find an after-hours facility if your child’s needs can’t wait. Call (855) 456-6976 for our after-hours nurse service.
