Appointments

Patients will be seen by appointment only. Please call 752-PEDS (7337) or send a message through your patient portal to schedule an appointment. We reserve time in our doctors' schedules daily to accommodate same day appointments for children with acute illnesses. To help us best accommodate you, please call as early as possible. Walk-in patients will be offered and/or seen at the next available work-in appointment that day as available.

In general, well child check-up appointments should be scheduled in advance. If your child plays a sport through school, state law requires a yearly physical exam/well visit. Please plan ahead when scheduling a physical in the summer, as this is our busiest time of year for this type of appointment. Please arrive on time for your child's appointment. Our doctors make every effort to remain on time; arriving late not only affects the doctor's schedule, but also affects the patients who have appointments following yours. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late for your appointment, you may be asked to reschedule.

If you will be unable to keep a scheduled appointment, please call to reschedule or cancel. This courtesy will allow us to make the appointment time available to another patient who may need it. You will be charged a $30.00 fee for appointments not cancelled 24 hours prior to your appointment. Excessive no-show or missed appointments will result in dismissal from the practice. It is our policy that children must be directly supervised by a parent or other responsible adult while on the premises of West Alabama Pediatrics.
