Starting April 14, 2012 . . .

We are pleased to announce that as part of our
continuing efforts to provide the highest quality of care
in a convenient and efficient setting, on April 14, 2012,
the Garner office began offering weekend office hours
on Saturday and Sunday mornings
from 8am until 11am
(for urgent problems/by appointment only).

If your child has a problem that cannot wait until routine
office hours on Monday, you may call the office where
you would like your child seen to schedule an appointment.

Garner Office: 919-779-6423
Raleigh Office: 919-872-0250

Our area hospitals are staffed by newborn specialists who can offer excellent care to your baby while you are in the hospital. Effective January 1, 2012, Raleigh Pediatrics will no longer see newborns in the hospital. Our physicians and the newborn specialists will communicate necessary information about your baby to provide a smooth transition from the hospital to your baby's medical home at Raleigh Pediatrics. The newborn specialists will instruct you when to schedule the first Newborn Well Exam. Please call our office before you leave the hospital to schedule this very important appointment.

         

Yearly Physicals

Raleigh Pediatrics recommends yearly physicals
for all children and adolescents.

You can avoid the rush by scheduling an appointment now
especially if your child needs one for school, camp, or sports.

If unsure, we can check the date of your child's last well exam.

Acetaminophen infant drops are no longer being manufactured. This is a result of an FDA ruling that attempts to decrease the occurrences of medication errors. During this period of transition, you may find that there is no infant acetaminophen on store shelves or that both the infant drops and children's suspension are available. The most important thing is that the correct dose is given to your child. Please click here for a current acetaminophen dosing guide. You may contact our office if you have additional questions.

Wake County, Johnston County, and Harnett County Public Schools require Middle School and High School athletes to have a complete physical exam within 365 days prior to the first practice or tryout date. If your child desires to participate in a school sport, be sure to schedule a yearly physical for your child.  For more information regarding school sports requirements, please refer to the following websites:

Wake County Public Schools

Johnston County Public Schools

Harnett County Public Schools

School systems in this area require that all children receive a complete physical within 365 days of starting kindergarten. This consists of obtaining height, weight, blood pressure, vision screen, audiogram, labwork, and updating immunizations. Each county provides a form for the physician's office to complete which should be returned to your child's school after the physical exam. Please bring this form with you to the visit. If the physical is not performed before school begins, you will have a thirty day grace period to get the exam and to complete the form. These appointment slots fill up quickly, so please call early to schedule your child's kindergarten physical.

If your child has an urgent medical problem which requires care outside of regular office hours, he or she may be seen by appointment in either the Raleigh or the Garner office in the evenings, Monday through Friday, from 5:00 until 6:00 p.m. Currently, the Raleigh office is open for emergencies only on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Our appointment line is open from 8:00 until 11:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Parents desiring to bring an acutely ill child to be seen during these times should call the main office at (919) 872-0250. Please note that there is an additional charge for late stay and weekend office visits. This may not be covered by your insurance.

For problems that arise outside of these hours, or if there is no answer at the office number, please call the answering service at (919) 831-5394. They will refer your call to the Pediatric Advice Line or contact the pediatrician on call. Please do not call the Pediatric Advice Line directly.
