| Practice Specifics
Appointments
Monday through Friday: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday: 8 a.m. to Noon - Oakland location.
Several evenings and early mornings.
We have convenient hours and try to be as accommodating
as possible. We know that everyone's time is valuable. We try to
keep the "waiting room" time to a minimum, but emergencies
and complicated problems sometimes come up which cause delays. If
this should happen, please be patient and accept our apologies.
Periodic routine visits are important. Much
of our time with our patients and their families is focused on the
preventive and instructive aspects of medicine. Children are seen
frequently during the first two years of life, while older children,
teenagers and young adults are seen annually. During these routine
visits, we, along with the parents, deal with the medical, social
and psychological growth of our patients. Protective immunizations
are administered in accordance with the guidelines of the American
Academy of Pediatrics.
After-Hours Care and
Emergency Service
One of our physicians is always on-call
for emergencies. If an emergency occurs after regular office hours,
call 412-681-2200. This number is answered 24 hours a day and we
will respond as quickly as possible.
Prospective parents often find it helpful to
meet with pediatricians prior to the birth of their first child.
If you would like to visit either of our offices to meet our doctors
and staff, please call the office to schedule a prenatal visit.
Billing and Insurance
Our billing is centralized and handled through
Children's Community Pediatrics' administrative office. If you have
a specific question regarding
your bill, please call 1-888-857-7646.
Referrals
If your insurance plan requires a referral for
services outside of our primary care office, please call in advance
and our staff will assist you. |
