New patient registration
New patients are asked to arrive at the doctor’s office 15 - 20 minutes before the scheduled appointment to fill out new patient forms. Please bring your insurance card, and Social Security numbers for you and your child to complete the registration process.
We require all patients to show a photo I.D. at every visit to protect you from medical identity theft. Medical identity theft occurs when someone uses another person’s identity to falsely obtain health care benefits. The result can be medically and/or financially devastating to the victim.

For all patient appointments
Our goal is to meet your family’s needs in a caring and efficient manner. We value your time and will make every effort to accommodate you as soon as possible.
- When scheduling an appointment, please tell the scheduler everything you would like to be seen for so that the correct amount of time may be reserved for you.
- Tell us if any of your contact numbers have changed. This is very important in case we need to contact you with test results, scheduling changes, etc.
- Tell us if your insurance has changed so that we can correctly bill for your covered amount.
- Be prepared to review your information and show your insurance card at every visit.
- Bring a list of all medications your child is taking, including the dosage, to every visit.
- If you have paperwork for us to fill out, please make sure you’ve completed as much as you can yourself prior to giving us the form.
- If you need a school excuse, be sure to let your doctor know before he or she leaves the room.
- Calls for sick patient appointments should be made early in the day, so that we can respond as quickly as possible.
- Appointments for routine care and physicals are best arranged well in advance, preferably at the end of the previous appointment.

Phone calls
Routine medical questions will be handled by calling our office during normal business hours. For your convenience, we have protocols to handle some problems over the phone. However, you may need to be seen in the office to properly diagnose and treat the problem. If you have questions, please feel free to call our office.
When calling
- Please give your child’s full name, birth date, and as much information about the problem as possible, including temperature, medications taken and duration of illness.
- In some cases, a registered nurse will answer your call. Please have a pencil and paper handy, as well as your pharmacy telephone number.
- Because it is best for us to address your problems when we have access to your medical history and records, please limit your after-hours calls to those that you feel absolutely cannot wait until the office opens.

Communication is the key to a good relationship with your child's physician. Don’t hesitate to ask your child's doctor any questions you or your child may have.
Your physician may want to discuss the following with you: current problems and symptoms, medical history, allergies, current medications and treatments, personal habits and recent lifestyle changes.

FAQ
Will a doctor come to the hospital when my baby is delivered?
Our doctors do not make rounds at the hospital but their baby will be in excellent hands by the pediatrician on call. The electronic medical records (EMR) within SSM will have all of the information from the hospital delivery through discharge.
