Any time day or night, when you decide you need to bring your child in for a sick visit, simply click the link below (insert link) and schedule your child online with the provider, location and time that works for you.

Occasionally, you may be asked to speak to a nurse about your child's condition and then the nurse will schedule your child based on their symptoms.

If you have a non-urgent question and need advice from our nurse, please call 724-346-6494 and leave a message on the nurse voicemail. Return calls will be made throughout the day.
When and Where to Seek Care
Call US First ANY DAY, ANY TIME Before Going to the ER

As your primary care doctor, we know how important it is for you to get the care you need when you need it. That’s why the best place to start when you have a health concern is with our office. Our dedicated staff is familiar with your health. We want to help you get the best care possible. That’s why we encourage every family to CALL US FIRST…ANY DAY, ANY TIME!

WHEN OUR OFFICE IS CLOSED…. A DOCTOR IS ON CALL 24/7 TO SPEAK WITH YOU ABOUT HEALTH CONCERNS
If you get sick or hurt when our office is closed and you’re not faced with an emergency, call our office to speak directly with a pediatric nurse or pediatrician on call. Talking to a pediatric-trained nurse or a local pediatrician will give you quality care, and could save you time and money!

Remember, if you’re seriously ill or injured, the emergency room is the right place to go. But when our office is closed, consider calling US before heading to the ED.

Please remember that those families who wish to schedule appointments or have questions of a non-medical nature should call the office during regular office hours.
