Sick Care Visits
If your child is ill, you will ALWAYS be given an appointment on the same day. This appointment may not be with your primary physician, but you will always be guaranteed an appointment with the first available physician. There are times of the year when there are many sick children and our office can become quite busy. We appreciate your patience under these circumstances as we will try to accommodate everyone.
NOTE: If your child is sick, we ask that you enter through the sick child entrance and wait in the sick child waiting area, which is separate from the well child waiting area.
Well Care Visits
It is best to schedule routine office visits well in advance so that you may choose a time that is convenient for you. Many patients will schedule their next well baby appointment upon departure from their current appointment.
Most insurance carriers allow well visits as per the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Please be familiar with your specific insurance plan and schedule your visits accordingly.
- FIRST VISIT is usually during the first week after hospital discharge. NOTE: It is IMPERATIVE to add your newborn to your insurance within the first 30 days of life. If you are remise in doing so within the prescribed 30 day period, you will be responsible for full payment during the well visit.
- ONE month
- TWO month
- FOUR month
- SIX month
- NINE month
- TWELVE month
- FIFTEEN month
- EIGHTEEN month
After age 2, most insurance carriers only allow ONE well exam every 12 months.
In the event that you fail to show up for a scheduled well exam visit, you will be charged a fee.
There will be a 24 hour notification policy for cancelled well appointments. If appointments are missed without cancellation, you will be responsible for a $40.00 cancellation fee.
NOTE: Please enter through the well child entrance and wait in the well child waiting area.
Prenatal Interviews
We understand that selecting your child’s pediatrician is an important decision. To help you make the best choice, we are happy to introduce ourselves, answer any questions, and give you a tour of our office. Please call our receptionist to schedule an interview; of course there will be no charge.
New Patients
Westchester Park Pediatrics is always open to accept new patients. We will schedule appointments for well visits once records are transferred to us. If your child needs a sick visit appointment, we will be happy to schedule an appointment regardless of the records
