We now have the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines for children ages 6 months and older. Please call to schedule a nurse visit for this vaccine, which may also be given during your child’s wellness visit.

As a reminder, we are happy to offer visits each day the office is open to evaluate sick children in person! We will continue to provide careful attention to infection control practices including appropriate cleaning and disinfection of the office, for the safety of our patients, families, and staff.

We would like to thank our families for their patience as we work through how best to provide the safest in-office care for sick children, and secure the most accurate and reliable COVID testing strategies. Rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing and PCR specimen collection will be available on site, as well as rapid testing for Influenza and RSV.

Telehealth Visits will continue to be available and offered, if and when appropriate.

Families are also encouraged to schedule a nurse visit for children ages 6 months and over to receive their COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccines can also be administered during healthy checkups.

Dear Families,

Our office has modified our policies and procedures due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in order to continue to provide the best and safest care possible. We continue to operate on normal office hours, Monday through Saturday, seeing patients for both wellness and illness visits. We also offer visits via Telehealth (phone or video/zoom) when appropriate.

Our office is following the Centers for Disease Control and Illinois Department of Public Health recommendations in regard to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). We require that all caregivers and patients over 2 years of age wear a face covering during office visits, and are screening all patients and caregivers for COVID-19 risk factors prior to office visits.
