How Do I Become A New Patient?
Having a baby? Thinking about transferring care? Want to learn more about our providers and tour the office?
Scheduling a Meet and Greet is a great way for prospective parents and new patients to ask questions, see how we work, and meet one of our providers. We want to help you make the best decision for your family.
Call us today to set up a Meet and Greet.
Our Goal Is To Provide The Best Medical Care
To do this successfully, we must be able to review all of your medical records from all providers that you have seen. It is our policy to receive your previous medical records before we can assume care and schedule an appointment.
For Newborns
Bringing a newborn to a new pediatric practice can be a prudent decision to ensure comprehensive care and support for your child's lifelong health. It allows for establishing a rapport with the healthcare providers early on, fostering a sense of familiarity and trust crucial for ongoing care.
For New Families Transferring To Us
When transferring a child to a new pediatric practice, it's essential to gather and organize all medical records, including vaccination records and any relevant test results. Communicate with both the current and new pediatric practices to ensure a smooth transition of care, providing necessary information about the child's medical history and ongoing treatments.
Transferring From Another Office
Once the records are received, we will review them to determine if they are complete or sufficient for us to begin caring for your children. Unfortunately, we cannot treat or provide any care for your children until that time.
Please be aware that under federal (HIPAA) and state laws, your previous medical provider may charge a "reasonable, cost-based fee" to copy your children's medical records. This cost is your responsibility. This fee may be waived if records are sent directly to our office.
If you have not already done so, please sign a release of records form and provide it to your children's previous medical provider.
