Clinic appointments may require a referral from your child’s pediatrician, and your insurance plan may require paperwork or other authorization for a visit with one of our specialists. Please contact your child’s physician and your insurance provider for more information.

If you need to refill a prescription, plan ahead as it may take up to 48 hours.

In addition, please have your primary care physician send relevant laboratory results and notes.
