We have another shipment of flu vaccine coming in the next few weeks. We have two more flu shot clinics planned right now: Tuesday November 12 from 5pm-8pm and Thursday November 14th from 5-6pm. Please call to schedule your appointment! Other than those days, you can get your flu shots at any scheduled well check or if you are in for a sick visit for something else. Siblings are welcome to come to any scheduled visit to receive their flu shots too. Just let us know! Sorry, but we can’t accomodate visits just for the flu shot only at this time due to staffing for our regular office hours. Remember flu season is usually late november to march, so you still have plenty of time to get vaccinated!

The truth about vaccinations: Your physician knows more than the University of Google
As the new school year approaches, please be aware that we have had to implement a new policy regarding physical forms and appointments. We are now asking for at least 48 hours to get daycare and physical forms filled out if your child is not already here for an appointment. These take time for our providers to review and our physicians to sign. We also ask for your flexibility in scheduling well child checks. We make every effort to accommodate busy schedules, but may not be able to give you a preferred time, with the most popular being after school. We appreciate your understanding in this matter!!
Please be patient with us this morning. Our phones and computers are acting up due to a problem with Comcast. They are telling us this problem should be fixed by 10 AM, so if you’re having a problem getting a hold of us keep trying. We will do our best to accommodate everyone!
Please note: for the next few weeks, we will not be open late on Tuesday evenings. We will still have our late nights on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings!
