All office visits are made by appointment only. We do not accept walk-in appointments.
All appointments can be made by calling our office at (714) 282-2229 during our regular office hours:
Monday-Friday
8:00am - 12:00pm & 2:00pm - 5:00pm
Well Baby Visits
Our doctors are on staff at St. Joseph's Hospital in Orange and will visit you and your newborn at the hospital.
We recommend your child visits our office for a well baby exam at 2 weeks old, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, and 24 months in order for your child to get on the appropriate vaccination schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Center for Disease Control.
Routine Physicals
Well child visits, or routine physicals, for children 3 years and older should be scheduled annually. Please prepare to schedule your appointment at least 4-6 weeks in advance. Availability of well child visits are limited during flu season (November through February).
Every child must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the first office visit, or until they reach 16 years of age. Parents must also be present for physicals and for complex medical problems. For subsequent visits, a letter authorizing treatment and accepting financial responsibility will suffice.
Sick Visits
Every attempt will be made to see a sick child within a few hours of the time you call.
Please call as early in the day as possible to ensure an appointment. Our phone lines open at 8:30 AM, Monday through Friday.
New Patients
We are currently taking new patients. Please call our office at (714) 282-2229 to schedule either a routine physical or same day sick visit. For referrals or ADD/ADHD appointments, please schedule a routine physical or same day office visit first, and notify the receptionist you would like information on referrals and ADD/ADHD. For more information of ADD/ADHD evaluations, please visit the ADD/ADHD page.
Waiting Rooms
A "sick waiting room", "well waiting room," and an "isolation room" are provided for your health and comfort. The "sick waiting room" is to be used by any child with a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, cold symptoms, or a cough. The "well waiting room" is for healthy children only. This includes routine physicals, rechecks, and injuries. Children with rashes other than diaper rash or eczema should notify the receptionist. They will be directed to the "isolation room."
Referals
Some insurance plans require prior authorization for tests, or sub-specialist evaluations. If this applies to you, please notify our office and allow one to two weeks for processing the request.
Unauthorized visits to specialists are usually not covered by insurance. Please call your insurance to verify.
Cancellation Policy
For physical exam appointments, we require a 24 hour notice of cancellation.
There is a $45.00 fee for failure to cancel without a 24 hour notice.
For sick visits, a one hour notice is required.
There is a $35.00 fee for failure to cancel without a one hour notice.
Payment
Our providers participate in most all of the major health insurance plans in the region and, as a courtesy, we will bill your insurance directly.
All co-payments must be paid on the date of service. Failure to do so will result in a $20.00 surcharge. All co-insurances and deductibles are due within 14 days of receiving an EOB (explanation of benefits) from your insurance. Please contact your insurance for any co-payment, co-insurance, or deductible information. If you are paying cash for your visit, payment is due in full on the date of service. We accept Visa, MasterCard, personal checks, and cash. There is a $35.00 charge for checks returned by the bank.
