Weekend Hours Reminder

Please remember that our weekend hours are for acute illnesses that cannot await regular office hours on Monday. We are seeing an increased number of sick patients during this flu season and, with limited weekend staffing, want to make certain we can accomodate all patients who need to be seen.

We feel that it is NOT too late to receive a flu vaccine and continue to offer it during office visits and flu clinics.

Yearly Physicals

Schoolbus     Camping     Sports

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.

Important acetaminophen (Tylenol®) changes
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.

General Information
Sports Physicals

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

Extended Hours

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. In addition, both the Raleigh and the Garner offices are 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 either the Raleigh office at (919) 872-0250 or the Garner office at (919) 779-6423. 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

Kindergarten Physicals

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.
