Are We a Good Fit?

Choosing Your Pediatrician

It is crucial when choosing a pediatric practice for your children that you have given serious consideration to the fit between the practice philosophies and your own. Excellent care happens when the physicians and office staff are aligned with your family priorities and philosophies regarding medical care. Only then can shared decision-making be based on mutual respect.

Please read the following information and policies carefully to be sure 
Pediatric Care Specialists is the appropriate medical home for your children. We look forward to meeting you and forming a mutually rewarding relationship.

  • Vaccines
  • Antibiotics

    We work hard to not overuse antibiotics. We educate families on appropriate use of antibiotics, but follow evidence-based guidelines and don’t automatically treat ear pain or a green snotty nose with antibiotics.


    We do not routinely prescribe antibiotics over the phone as we do not believe that is good medicine. We will prescribe an antibiotic when we believe it is an appropriate treatment.

  • Office Hours

    We make every effort to meet the needs of our patients, offering both routine well visits and sick visit appointments.


    Our regular office hours are:


    Monday - Friday 

    8:30a-5:00p


    If your child is experiencing acute like symptoms , we do offer walk-in appointments for our established families!


     Monday - Friday

     8:30a-12p & 1:30p-4:30p


  • After Hours

    We have a physician on call 24/7/365. When our office is closed overnight and you have an urgent issue that cannot wait until morning, you can call our main number and the provider on-call will give you advice regarding your child's problem.

  • Insurance

    Make sure we participate with your insurance plan. Click here for a list of our participating insurances.


    It is your responsibility to know the limits and coverage of your particular health insurance policy, to show your cards to us at each visit, and be prepared to pay any copays at the time of service.


    Our billing staff will do their best to assist you with insurance questions; however, If you have questions about your coverage, it is best check with your specific insurance company.


    Our office does not want you to be surprised by a bill, but must always bill your health plan based on federal guidelines and the actual services provided.

  • Timeliness & Missed Appointments

    Our practice makes every effort to run on time with appointments, as we believe everyone’s time is equally valuable.


    As a courtesy, we will remind you of your upcoming appointments via phone/text message/email.


    We ask that you arrive 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time.We understand sometimes things happen beyond your control that may cause you to be late. However, we reserve the right to ask you to reschedule if you arrive late for your appointment.


    Missed Appointments: Broken appointments represent a cost to us, to you, and to other patients who could have been seen in the time set aside for you. We reserve the right to charge a fee for canceled or missed appointments. We request 24 hours notice for cancellation of appointments.


    A fee will be charged for a second missed appointment. The third consecutive missed appointment will result in discharge from the practice.


    For new patients, a fee will be charged if the FIRST appointment is missed.
