Urgent care

Hours

APPOINTMENTS

SICK VISITS Each weekday,
we are prepared to see a sick child who should be examined that day. Call our reception staff early in the
day to request a same day appointment with the next available pediatrician. Although we will make every effort to schedule your child's sick visit with the doctor of your choice, the schedule may not always permit this. Sick visits for chronic complaints usually require more physician time than an acute problem. When you call, please tell the scheduler if the problem has been recent or long standing. For a chronic problem a nurse may call you to obtain some background history before the visit. WALK-IN HOURS In our Stamford office ONLY, we offer walk-in hours for established patients who need a brief focused visit (e.g. rash, sore throat, earache) on Monday through Friday
between 8:15-9:00 am. New patients or patients with chronic complaints require a regularly scheduled office visit. New Canaan patients are welcome in the Stamford office during walk-in hours. There are no walk-in hours on weekends or holidays.

APPOINTMENTS

CONSULTS For consult visits, a physician first meets alone with the parent(s) then with the patient
at a subsequent visit if
necessary. Typically, consults are scheduled for problems such as:
  • Behavior problems
  • School readiness
  • Academic difficulties (LD, ADHD)
  • Parental separation, divorce
  • Age specific adjustment problems
  • Emotional or psychiatric issues
  • Eating disorders
  • Foreign travel

Book a travel consult at least 6 weeks prior to departure; know which countries and regions within each country your child plans to visit. If traveling with a group that has specific recommendations or requirements, bring all necessary paperwork to your appointment. Recommended prescriptions and any necessary vaccinations will be given at the visit. If we do not have a required vaccine, we will refer you to a local travel clinic such as Passport Health.

PHONE CALLS

NURSE TRIAGE During regular hours, our nurses are well- trained to answer your questions about routine baby and child care, common symptoms, over-the-counter medications, and vaccine reactions. To leave a non-urgent message for a nurse, include your name and number, child's name and age, topic of concern, and best contact time. If you believe your child has a serious complaint that requires a same-day visit, request an appointment directly with the receptionist.

PHYSICIAN CALLBACKS Our doctors are eager to answer your questions and concerns but cannot be interrupted during patient visits, and most often will return calls late in the day. For non-urgent matters, return calls may take several days. If you have not heard back from the doctor, speak with the triage nurse who can often expedite a response to your questions.

PRESCRIPTIONS &
REFILLS

PRESCRIPTIONS & REFILLS Medication refills are processed via telephone, during regular
business hours Monday through Friday. To make a request, call well before your prescription runs out and select the prescription refill option on the telephone menu.

In your message, include your name and phone number, the child's name and birth date, the name and dosage of each medication, and name and phone number of your pharmacy. In general, your request will be filled by the next business day. Our office will notify you if a visit is required before refilling your prescription.

Stimulant Medication Prescriptions for stimulant medications, such as Ritalin®, Focalin®, Concerta®, Adderall®, or Vyvanse® cannot be
dispensed by phone. A written prescription must be
presented directly to your pharmacist. A pharmacy may only
dispense one month's supply at any one time. Please call
each month during regular office hours, with at least 24 hours
advance notice, to request your prescription for pick-up. In
your message, please include your child's name
and birth date as well as the name and dosage of each medicine. Patients who take stimulant medications should be seen at regular intervals (usually every 3 months ) to monitor progress, growth parameters and side effects. We can only provide refills if appropriate follow-up visits take place. Patients over 18 years of age must pick up their own prescriptions unless they have completed a 18 year old packet / release patient Form.
