Update: The measles outbreak in SC is still surging with 90+ new cases since Tuesday. There are so far only the 3 cases here that most likely contracted it in Spartanburg. Please continue to watch for cold symptoms with high fever, red eyes, and rash in folks not immunized. If you see these symptoms in a loved one, keep them isolated and call us for guidance. We will be screening people heavily to prevent any spread at the office.

There is also a chicken pox outbreak currently happening, as well as spread of a pretty nasty flu A virus. Be careful out there.

PLEASE if your child has fever, rash and cold symptoms and you are coming to see us for ANY reason, stay in your car once here and call in to us. We would rather come to see your child in the car than risk transmission in the office. Thank you!!!!

OK, folks. There are some kids in Buncombe county who contracted measles, most likely from Spartanburg county per our health department. We would strongly recommend vaccinating your kids, 6 months and older, if they are not already. Call us during business hours and we can arrange shot visits.

Great guidance!

Please!!!! Please call ASAP if you cannot make a scheduled checkup appointment. These are a little tight currently, and so if we have a heads up, we can fit someone else in that time slot.

As a reminder, there is a charge if someone does not show for an appointment.

Thank you for helping us serve our community!

Great place for lots of good credible information!

Vaccines for kids are studied closely before the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends them. Safety evidence is gathered when a new vaccine is made and after it is authorized.
