Appointments

We make every effort to schedule appointments for sick or injured children on the day that you call us. 

We open at 8:00 AM so please call our office as soon as you think you need to make an appointment. There is always somebody on call 24/7 to deal with any urgent need that you feel should be dealt with before the regular office hours.

FOR LIFE THREATENING OR SEVERE SITUATION, CALL 911 FIRST. 

If possible, after calling 911, please notify us of your situation. If you have a medical emergency during office hours, we will do our best to see your child immediately or refer you to the most appropriate facility.

We appreciate how important it is for your child to have access to our care.

For sick or acute care visit we will make every effort to provide you with a same day appointment. The office opens at 8:00 AM and it is best to call as soon as you feel your child needs to be seen. 

For Well Child Visits or nonurgent concerns, we will schedule your child at a time that is convenient for you.

We are available 24/7 to deal with any urgent situation. Just call the office at 410-795-7300. If you have an urgent situation and the office is closed you will be provided with prompt access to our on-call providers who will assist you.

If you have a serious or life-threatening emergency, immediately call 911. If feasible, then call and let the provider on call know your situation.

We are available 24/7 to deal with any urgent situation.  Just call the office at 410-795-7300. If you have an urgent situation and the office is closed you will be provided with prompt access to our on-call providers who will assist you. If you ever leave a message with our answering service for the doctor to call you back and you do not receive a prompt response, please call again and point out the lapse.

We are your child's health care provider 24/7. We are all Board Certified in Pediatrics and have access to your child's medical record. We are best equipped to supervise, coordinate and provide follow-up for your child's care. If your child needs to be actually seen after hours and we are not in the office, we will direct you to the most appropriate facility. Many other after-hours health care providers are not as capable to address the needs of children or your child. Also many urgent situations can be comfortably handled over the phone with any needed in person follow-up scheduled for the next morning. Let us help you make the best decisions for your child's health.

IN THE EVENT OF A LIFE THREATENING EMERGENCY, CALL 911.

School, sports, camp and employment physicals are often required within the six month period before the start. If you know that your child will require one of these physicals, please call ASAP to schedule. Since form completion is usually required, please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your appointment.

Chronic problems are issues that can be medical, social, emotional or academic that you feel have affected your child’s well-being over a long period of time. Some example would be allergies, school problems, developmental delays, ADHD, on-going bowel problems, or other issues that have had a long term affect. Reports from prior health care providers or the school are often very helpful in advance of the visit. When you call to make these appointments, please share with our confidential receptionists the nature of the problem. This way the appropriate amount of time can be provided.
