Your Child's First Visit
If you have been referred by your Primary Care Provider for a consultation, you will need to obtain a referral if your insurance carrier requires one. If you have transferred from another doctor, you will need to sign a release form (PDF file, 56K) so we can obtain your child's records.
Please arrive 15 minutes early for your first appointment, in case there is any paperwork you need to complete.
Prescription Refills
If you are not scheduled to see your doctor and notice that your medication is running low, please call seven days in advance of your medicine being completely gone. Those days give your physician time to review your record, call you back with any questions, approve the refill, and contact the pharmacy per their policy. Please plan ahead.
Appointment Policy
Parents and/or legal guardians are required to be present for all health maintenance/behavioral visits. When calling for an appointment, please help us schedule an adequate amount of time by describing the reason for your visit. For your first visit, we would ask you to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to complete any necessary forms.
If you must cancel your appointment for any reason, please call as early as possible, preferably at least 24 hours in advance. Failure to show up for three scheduled appointments without notifying Franklin Health Pediatrics personnel at least 24 hours prior to your appointment time will result in termination of our doctor-patient relationship. This policy is in consideration of our other patients' needs for those appointments, and your physician's time.
Emergencies
In an extreme emergency, such as loss of consciousness, chest pain, severe breathing problems, or major bleeding, call your emergency service number (usually 911) first. Do not delay emergency care by calling our office or the hospital. Afterward, if necessary, call your physician for further advice and coordination of your emergency care.
For other emergency care which cannot wait until regular office hours (weekends or holidays), please dial 778-6031 or 645-4911. Our physicians on call usually see sick children on those mornings when necessary. We prefer to receive calls between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. Please call and speak with the physician first; we will make arrangements as to where and when to meet.
