😷 Cold and flu season is in full swing. It has been an incredibly busy week so far. We have seen over 40 same day sick visits in just the last two days. We are seeing a TON of flu. There is also a lot of COVID going around. Hand foot mouth is somehow still spreading throughout daycares despite it not being the typical season for it. There have been a few cases of pneumonia in the last week. We are not seeing much strep.

Please be patient with our responses to emails and voicemails. We are prioritizing acute issues and there may be a delay of a few days responding to other concerns. Medical questions require input from one of the doctors and there is limited free time between patients.

We strongly suggest you wear a mask in the office. If you are in for a sick visit, please put a mask on when you arrive. We have many vulnerable babies and immunocompromised children and parents. We want everyone to be able to enjoy a healthy holiday season. 😷

The office will be closed today. Emails and voicemails will not be monitored. We will reopen Monday at 9 am. Have a great weekend 🙂

We have entered our busiest time of the year. There are many illnesses going around, especially gastro infections. We have many appointment requests. At this time, we are already fully booked for today.

If you are scheduled for an appointment, please remember to confirm or cancel when you get the reminder email. We are enforcing our no show policy.

Thanks for understanding

Wishing everyone a fun Halloween!
Excited to see everyone’s costumes.

There are no available appointments today. Ashley will be out of the office so phones will not be answered. Emails and voicemails will be returned on Monday. Sorry for the inconvenience.

As we enter our busiest time of the year, please remember to book your next appointment before you leave the office. We have a very limited number of same day visits for acute/sick concerns. Check ups and behavior follow ups require longer appointments and are booking over 1 month out, longer if you have specific time requests.

Please cancel your appointment if you are unable to attend. We will be enforcing our no show policy.

If you are a current patient and expecting a new baby please let us know as soon as you are comfortable so that we can plan ahead.

We encourage you to wear a mask in the office. As much as we try to separate sick and well visits, there are a lot of illnesses going around. We continue to wear our masks in the office and the doctors have received their flu vaccines for the season.
