Emergency Visits

If it is truly a life threatening emergency call 911. Otherwise our office can handle many emergencies that other offices do not. Emergencies such as injuries, cuts and lacerations, burns, possible broken bones or fractures, dehydration or visits that require our immediate attention for medical reasons are visits that we can usually handle.

We do procedures in our office that most other pediatricians don’t do.

These include:
Casts and splints for minor breaks and fractures
Sutures (stitches) for lacerations
IV fluids for dehydration
Drawing blood

Most pediatricians will direct you to an emergency room for these procedures causing you and your child the discomfort and delay of treatment while you travel to another location. Emergency room bills and out-of-pocket expenses are usually significantly higher than having us perform these services for your child in our office. Emergency room waits can be very long and can create a more traumatic experience for you and your sick or injured child. Most importantly, we can handle many emergencies in our office so you and your child will be more comfortable being treated by someone that you know and trust.
