Scheduling of Sick Patients and Telehealth:

It is best for us to see patients who are sick.  Our  office has the ability to test for common infections like Flu, RSV, COVID, Strep, etc. We will know the results of these rapid tests before you leave the office. If you are an established patient, you may also request a telehealth visit. Patients with new problems must be seen to provide the best care possible. Telehealth visits are best for patients who are already under our care for ongoing problems. Telehealth visits are not appropriate for most febrile illnesses.

Scheduling of  Well Child  Appointments : 

We schedule well visits for children during normal business office hours.  We ask that you keep your child's normal routine visits, especially in the two years of life,  so that we can properly monitor your  child's growth and development, and protect them best with timely vaccination.   We recommend yearly well visits for patients older than two. It is best to schedule your child's visit on the month of their birthday and after their birth date, not before. So if your child's birthday is January 20th, come on the 21st or later.

School Physical Exam and Immunization Program

Illinois law requires a school physidal exam within a year of entry to preschool, kindergarten, 6th grade, 9th grade and college. In addition to the physical exam students are screened for TB, Lead, Diabetes, and Anemia. A student must also be immunized against a long list of infections for which the specifics depend on the student's age and grade.  Our pediatricians will evaluate  your child's immunization records and inform you what you need to be compliant with the laws and what vaccinations  are optional and recommended.

Flu Prevention Program

The CDC recommeds flu vacination for all children and adults. We strive to acheive this goal by providing a Flu Prevention Program..  Each fall we call every patient who had the vaccine last year and offer them this year's flu vaccine.  In addition, all patients and their parents are offered a flu vaccine when they are seen for their yearly exam in the fall. Children younger than 2 years and adults older than 65 are at an increased risk of complications from flu.  In order to provide the best possible protection to our young children, a flu vaccine should be taken by any caretaker, chronically ill child or immuno compromized child.  To that end, we offer the flu vaccine as a convenience to any care taker of infants or children. When a patient presents to our office with symptoms of flu, we have the ability to test for influenza A or B strains using a nasal swab.  This early detection enables us to offer early treatment and provide the best possible out comes.
