REFERRALS

PROVIDING GUIDANCE ON SPECIALTY CARE


Our office requires a minimum of two (2) days notice for referral requests. Because we are your primary care physician, we will want to see the child before referring them out to a specialist. 

It is our main objective that your child gets the best care possible from us and from anyone we refer you to. 

Children may experience a range of medical conditions that could benefit from the expertise of a pediatric specialist in a particular field. We emphasize the coordination of all healthcare providers involved in a child's treatment. Our role involves working with specialists to ensure the best care for your child, including providing guidance on when specialty care is recommended.


In order to facilitate a productive relationship between the patient, primary care provider, and specialist, it is typically essential for us to conduct an initial assessment at our office before making a referral. This step enables us to furnish the specialist with comprehensive and current information regarding the child's health condition, as well as details about their recent physical examination. Additionally, this allows us the opportunity to potentially consult with the specialist via phone while the patient is present in our office, especially if the health concern requires urgent intervention. Patients consistently derive advantages from the constructive collaboration between primary care providers and specialists.
