For first visits, please arrive 15 minutes early to complete medical history and other forms.

For school and sports clearances, we have our own forms and attach them to those of the school. This allows us to process forms much more quickly. We will fill out health forms if your child has had a physical in the previous two years and has had no significant illnesses in the interim. If you need us to send out a form, please include an addressed, stamped envelope.

Illness visits: Please try to call between 8:30 and 10:00 am if possible. Our policy is to see all children on a same-day basis if either we or you feel they are significantly ill.

Telephone calls: If you have an urgent medical problem, we will immediately come to the phone to assist you. For non-urgent questions about your child, we ask that you leave a message. Our trained nursing staff will call you back. Our goal is to return all morning calls within four hours and all afternoon calls by the end of the afternoon or early evening.

When the office is closed: The pediatrician and/or nurse practitioner are always on call. After 10:00 pm, trained pediatric nurses are available by phone to answer late night concerns. Please save non-urgent questions for regular hours.

Hospital care: We admit all seriously ill children to Danbury Hospital.

Newborns: We see newborns at Danbury Hospital.

Fees/Insurance: We request all fees and co-pays be paid at the time of visit. We accept most major insurance plans and will provide you with the necessary paperwork for submission.

Missed appointment fee: Unlike many other pediatric practices, we will not routinely double-book patients. The appointment time for your child will be vacant if you do not show up or if you call only a short time before the appointment. We will charge a $25 fee for missed appointments. No fee will be charged if you notify our office at least 4 working hours before the appointment time.
