Come to Our Office for Comprehensive Care
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.
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.
For those problems that occur outside of our regular business hours, we offer our after-hours nurse line. We employ pediatric-trained and licensed nurses who can give you advice on taking care of your child until our office is open again. 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.
Dr. Porter and Dr. Galloway provide pediatric care from newborn through high school, and we pride ourselves on friendly, compassionate, and professional healthcare services.
