Scheduling
Appointments
To help provide timely service to our patients, all visits must be scheduled. If you miss half of your appointment, we will try to work you back into the schedule or perhaps offer an appointment with another provider. Out of courtesy to our other patients, we may be forced to ask you to reschedule your appointment.
Please see walk in hours below.
No Show Policy
Due to an increased volume of sick visit no shows and an ever increasing number of patients who need same day or next day appointments, Children's Health Partners will charge a $50 no show fee if you do not call ahead to cancel your child's sick/office visit. Please call ASAP to cancel your child's appointment if you go elsewhere or your child no longer needs to be seen. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sick Child / Office Visits
We make every effort to schedule appointments for acutely ill children on the day that you call us. Please call our office as early as possible during business hours to schedule an appointment or leave a message for the nurse who will triage your child's illness and help you decide if an appointment is necessary.
Well Child Visit
Well child visits are one of the most important services we provide to keep your child healthy and to track their growth and development. We recommend that every child adhere to the following schedule. You can call our office 6 months in advance to choose the date that best meets your needs.
