different times. Patients can contact the office staff during normal
office hours with medical, billing and insurance questions from 9:00
AM to 12:00 PM and 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM. Well visits are by appointment
only. Appointment times are Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 11:30
AM and 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM. If your child is sick, you may call the
office between 9:00 AM and 9:30Am for an available appointment for
that day, or use the always-convenient walk-in facilities of the PCU.
