Hi families! 👋🏻

We are now scheduling flu shot appointments! Our first available appointments begin October 3rd.

If you're interested in getting a flu shot for your little one, give our office a call or send us a portal message to get scheduled.

Please note: Flu shot appointments are available for established patients who are at least 6 months old and up to date on their routine physicals. No other vaccines can be given during our flu clinics. Please be sure to arrive at your child's scheduled appointment time.

We’ll just go ahead and apologize if this makes you cry, because it certainly made us cry. 🥹

One of the greatest privileges in pediatrics is the trust families place in us. Every visit, every worried phone call, every milestone, and every hug… we never take that trust for granted.

We’re grateful to Zander’s family for allowing us to share their story. It’s a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do.

Thank you for trusting us with your precious little boy. Seeing him healthy, smiling, and thriving is one of the greatest gifts we could ask for. 💙

An Update About Our Newborn Nursery Services at Wi******er Medical Center:

It has been our privilege to care for patients at Wi******er Medical Center while they are in the hospital for more than 70 years.

Nationwide, the model of care for hospitalized children and newborns has changed. For many years, it was common for office pediatricians to care for their own patients in the hospital. Over time, this role has increasingly moved to dedicated pediatric hospitalist providers. By the 2010s, our practice had already become a rarity in continuing this model of care.

During the severe 2022 respiratory illness season, when COVID-19, flu, and RSV surged at the same time, we transitioned inpatient pediatric admissions to the pediatric hospitalist team but continued to care for newborns.

We are deeply grateful for the trust our community has placed in us during such a special time for families. After careful consideration, we have made the decision to conclude our newborn nursery services at Wi******er Medical Center. This change will allow our physicians to expand their availability and focus on providing exceptional care within our office.

We remain committed to caring for your child from their very first office visit through every stage of childhood. We continue to offer evening hours, walk-in hours, and same-day scheduling so that we can provide a true medical home for our patients.

We look forward to continuing to serve your family and welcoming your newest addition to our practice.

Attention Parents of Student Athletes:

As we gear up for sports physical season, we want to remind you of an important requirement from the State of Virginia:

Parents/guardians must complete their portion of the Virginia sports physical form in full before our providers can fill out theirs.

Parents/guardians must complete their portion and either bring the form to the appointment or submit it via our online paperwork platform, IntakeQ, prior to the appointment.

⏱️ Coming prepared helps us keep appointments running smoothly and ensures your athlete is cleared in time for tryouts and practices. ⏱️

Need a blank form? You can find it here: https://intakeq.com/new/4viaer

Thank you for your help and teamwork! 💪

Back-to-school season will be here before we know it... and if there’s one thing more stressful than school supply shopping, it’s trying to schedule a physical the week before school starts.

And yes, we know... for some of us, summer break started approximately five minutes ago. Parenting in a nutshell: one thing ends and somehow you’re already planning for the next thing. 😅

But if your child needs an annual physical, sports physical, or medication form for the upcoming school year, now is the time to schedule. Summer appointments fill quickly, and the back-to-school rush sneaks up fast.

Save yourself the last-minute scramble and give us a call to get scheduled early!

✨ Online Appointments Expanded to Physicians!✨
Online appointment scheduling worked so well with our midlevel providers, we've decided to expand it to our physicians' schedules too!

Beginning today (April 27th), families may schedule sick appointments directly through the patient portal, with the first available appointments starting Tuesday, April 28th.

Here’s what to know:
✔️ Sick visits only
✔️ Appointments with physicians and midlevel providers
✔️ Same-day or next-day scheduling only
✔️ Morning appointment times
✔️ Appointments are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis

How it works:
1. Log into your child’s patient portal
2. Click “Schedule Appointment”
3. Select your child and visit reason
4. Choose an available time
5. Confirm your appointment

If you don’t see an appointment that meets your needs, or if your child needs a different type of visit, please give us a call and our team will be happy to help.

We’re excited to offer expanded online appointment scheduling and make it even easier for families to schedule when they need it.

Taking care of your kids is serious business… but we don’t take ourselves TOO seriously.

Watch some of our providers take on the BeanBoozled challenge!

Thanks to our willing (…or mostly willing 😅) participants for playing along. And thank you Nurse Julia for hosting & creating this fun video!
