COVID19
To The Families Of Southwest Pediatrics
Hello families of Southwest Pediatrics we know these are trying and stressful times, here at Southwest Pediatrics we are doing our part to help our families. We have started using telemedicine visits, a simple way to get care for your child without leaving your house.
We can use telemedicine for:
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Formula changes
- Medication Refills For ADD & ADHD
- Pink Eye
- Rashes
We cannot evaluate over telemedicine:
- Ear Pain/Possible Ear Infection
- Head injuries
- Sore throat
- Weight checks
- Well Checks & Immunizations
- Wheezing
At any point during a telemedicine visit the provider may ask for you to be seen in clinic or to take child to an urgent care or ER if necessary for child to be physically evaluated.
We are still scheduling patients to be seen in office for sick and well checks. We are adjusting our schedules to well checks 8 to 2 and sick visits after. We are also allowing patients to wait in their vehicle and call in when they arrive and check in. This way the medical assistant brings you and your child directly to the exam room.
If you would like more information or would like to schedule a telemedicine visit please contact our office 623-931-3028. We are finding our patients & parents are enjoying this option and is easy to use.
