Appointments
We see patients from Monday to Saturday by appointment only. Our receptionists answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, 10:30am on Tuesdays, and 10 am on Thursdays, and will be happy to schedule an appointment for your child, usually for the same day if necessary. If you are unsure about needing an appointment, or have a medical question, our doctors or nurse practitioner are available 7 days a week to give advice. We encourage you to call as early in the day as possible, so we can find the most appropriate time for your child. Appointments after 3:00pm are generally reserved for those inevitable after school emergencies.
Please schedule appointments for any child you want the doctor to see. Often “taking a peek” at a brother or sister who happens to be with you requires time to open the charts and can often lead to delays.
We understand that circumstances may occasionally prevent you from keeping your scheduled appointment. Please notify our office in advance if you are running late or unable to make your appointment. We require at least 24 hour notice to cancel well exams. Our receptionists will do their best to reschedule you promptly. We strive to be respectful of your time as well, and will do our best to see that your scheduled appointment is on time.
Saturday hours are for illnesses and emergencies only and are scheduled based on phone calls that morning. If your child is sick on a Sunday morning or holiday, please call our office at 718-858-4924 in order to speak with a doctor on call. Arrangements can be made to have your child seen in our office at the soonest availability.
Sick child visits are generally scheduled on a same day basis. Starting early morning, our phones are answered by our receptionist to make appointments. When scheduling well child appointments, please plan ahead to allow us to better accommodate your schedule. We make every attempt to be as responsive to your scheduling needs as possible.
Please call us at 718-858-4924 or e-mail us at appointments@heightspediatrics.com to schedule an appointment.
