Your First Visit

When you come to our office for the first time, you will be greeted by our Receptionist and also meet our Office Manager. Please feel free to ask questions of either person about our practice. The Nurse or Medical Assistant will then escort you and your child into an examination room where she or he will ask the reason your child is visiting the doctor that day.

The Nurse or Medical Assistant will next take some measurements such as your child's temperature, blood pressure, height and weight. You may be asked to help your child to undress and change into a gown so that the Provider can perform the examination more easily.

Next the Provider will come in to the examination room accompanied by an assistant who is a Professional Scribe. The Scribe will type in answers to additional questions that the Provider may ask as well as type in what is found on your child's physical examination. If you would prefer to see the Provider without the Scribe present please do not hesitate to mention this request.

At the end of your child's examination the Provider may have the Nurse return to the examination room to give medications, administer further tests or shots, etc. Nothing will happen without the Provider or Nurse first explaining what will be done. If you have any questions at any time please do not hesitate to ask about any aspect of your child's health care.
