This fall, for the first time, Virginia children 11 years and older entering 6th grade will be required to be vaccinated against meningococcal disease (with the quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, MCV4) and pertussis (with the tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis vaccine, Tdap) prior to school entry.

The recommendation is for all persons aged 11-18 years to receive one dose of meningococcal vaccine at the earliest opportunity, and children 11-12 years to be vaccinated with the pertussis vaccine (Tdap), providing it has been at least five years since their last tetanus/diphtheria vaccine dose.

To serve you better we appreciate we you could request 2 physical per family per day in order for us to spend time in knowing your child.

Please remember to bring any school/sports forms along with you to your appointment for completion. Please note we charge $10 for the first form and $5 for each additional form. Please give us 48hrs for the forms to be completed. If the forms are requested for the same day we charge an additional $10 to accommodate your request.

Additional Information:
We require a parent or legal guardian to accompany their child for the first visit to our office. Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your appointment time.

Walk-in and sibling add-on appointments:
Our practice strives to provide timely service along with exceptional customer service. In order to fulfill these obligations we have found it necessary to enforce our policy on walk-in and add on sibling appointments. If you call ahead, we will try our best to accommodate your request.

After-hour appointments:
For your convenience we offer after-hours appointments for sick children in the event the regular schedule fills up. These appointment times are determined on a daily basis. The after-hour appointments are considered a “work-in clinic” which means there may be delays. We offer this service to provide continuity of care for our patients.

We require all appointments to be scheduled ahead of time. Non-scheduled requests place the physician’s and staff in a difficult and uncomfortable position. We want to take care of your child’s needs; however, it is unfair to our patients who have a scheduled appointment to wait while someone without a prescheduled appointment is seen.

Late arrivals:
Our office offers a grace period up to 15 minutes from the original appointment time. If you are unable to arrive on time for your appointment you will need to contact our office to see if your appointment needs to be rescheduled or work you in behind the scheduled appointments.

Peak Times - Certain times of the day are “peak” times when the office will most certainly be busy. Such times include “after school” during the school year and all day on Monday during the winter months. If you do not absolutely have to schedule an appointment during these peak times, you would be better served by scheduling your visit during slower periods such as the early afternoon, early morning, and other weekdays. Certain times of the year are also peak times for certain types of visits. For example, children returning to school need to have their annual well check for sports activities and immunizations. We have found it best to schedule these appointments between April and October.

D uring the winter months we do experience a high volume of sick children. Some may require immediate attention. This may lead to a delay with your appointment. Our staff will try their best to keep you informed of any delays ahead of time.
