Regular office visits are always by appointment. Please follow these recommended guidelines when scheduling an appointment with PAA.

• We prefer that you see several of our physicians, but you may request a particular physician if desired.
• We answer phone calls between 7:30AM and 5:00PM. If your child is sick, please call as early as possible.
• Weekends & After Hours Appointments - There may be an additional charge for weekend appointments and appointments after 5:00PM. Many insurance companies will pay this charge, however, some may not. In those cases, you will be responsible for the additional fee.
• If your child has a sudden, severe illness or accident, please call before coming to the office. We can see many emergencies in our office, but we may request that you go to the Emergency Room if deemed necessary.
• In order to assist us in remaining on schedule, please be on time. There are occasional emergencies and other factors that may delay your visit.
• Please call 6-8 weeks in advance for checkup appointments including sports physicals and camp physicals. Checkup appointments are not given after 3:30PM, because these appointments are reserved for sick children.
• Appointments for nursing visits for immunizations are given Tuesdays - Fridays from 2:00PM - 4:30PM.
• With the exception of formula for infants, please do not bring food or drinks into the office.
• Drop-ins & Siblings - We do not routinely see patients without an appointment. Please schedule an appointment for all children who need to be seen. If a sibling is also sick, an appointment needs to be made so that the physician can allot time to care for each child’s needs.
• No Shows/Tardiness - For the convenience of other patients, please try to be on time for your appointment. We also request a 24 hour notice to cancel appointments. Please be courteous of others. Your canceled appointment could be used by someone else. Frequent no-shows may result in dismissal from the practice.
