🚨 Breaking news 🚨
Respiratory season isn’t fun for anyone BUT testing has been made easier! No more digging to the depths of your brain with a nasopharyngeal swab 🥳 our new combo COVID/Flu test is now an anterior nare swab so it’s only gonna go about as far as your kids finger goes when they’re on a treasure hunt. This rapid test is still incredibly accurate and results only take about 10 minutes. We are ✨obsessed✨😁
We have plenty of openings for same day sick visits, if needed. You can call our office at 918-743-8941 to schedule or log into your patient portal to request an appointment!

Staff will be calling parents that are scheduled today to confirm appointments and move some up that are able to. If you have not heard from us, and are scheduled today please give the office a call to confirm or reschedule your appointment.

🍿Happy national popcorn day from Utica Pediatrics!!🍿

Q: Why don’t popcorn kernels play hide and seek? (Continue reading for answer👀)

Good tips about littles and popcorn!⤵️

* Age 4+: The AAP suggests waiting until at least age 4, but consider individual maturity as well.

* Developmental Readiness: Your child should be able to sit still, follow directions, chew thoroughly, and spit out food if needed.

* Safe Environment: Serve popcorn only when the child is sitting calmly, not running, walking, or distracted.

* Supervision: Watch for older siblings giving popcorn to younger ones and check for unpopped kernels.

A: Because they always💥POP💥 out!!🍿😁
