- We see patients 364 days a year - that of course includes Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays
- Christmas Day (December 25) is the only day of the year that we do not see patients in person in our office
Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays operate basically the same
- On those days, we see patients with concerns that can't wait until the next regular business day. That typically includes two types of patients
- Newborns: Weekend Newborn Clinic; Holiday Newborn Clinic
- Acutely ill children (children with illnesses of short duration): Weekend Sick Child Clinic; Holiday Sick Child Clinic
- An On Call Nurse working with our On Call Pediatrician gets our office lab ready and then will begin return phone calls at 9:00 AM
- There are no 'walk-ins' - all visits are by appointment only
- Newborn Clinic begins at 10:00 AM
- Sick Child Clinic will begin sometime after Newborn Clinic
- Weekend and Holiday Clinic ends at 1:00 PM
- After we have left the office, the On Call Nurse, and later the On Call Pediatrician will take urgent calls about sick children
