Appointments, Hours and Schedules

To avoid a long waiting time in our office, we prefer to schedule all visits. If you are later than 30 minutes for your appointment, we will try to work you back into the schedule, or perhaps offer an appointment to you with another provider. Out of courtesy to our other scheduled patients, we may be forced to ask you to reschedule your appointment.

After Hours/ Emergencies
Our physicians take emergency calls after hours on weekdays, weekends and holidays. Please call either office at 718.833.2300 or 718.982.6800, and our answering service will page a physician to call you back as soon as possible. Please save non-urgent questions such as appointments, prescription refills, school forms, referral requests, for during office hours. 

Well Child Visits
To keep your children healthy and up to date with immunizations, it is important to bring them in for regular physical checkups. We recommend that you call at least 2 weeks in advance so we can accommodate you. 

Sick Child Visits
We make every effort to schedule appointments for sick patients the same day. Please call our office in advance so you can limit your wait time in our office. If you would like us to see more than one child, please schedule both of them when making your appointment. 

Walk-Ins
We have designated 8:30-9:30AM everyday as our Walk-In hour for sick patients (existing patients only). During this hour patients will be seen on a first come basis.  Patients who Walk-In after this designated hour with a non-emergency condition will be fit into the existing schedule as best as possible. 

Follow Up Visits
Follow – up visits are important. This visit is to make sure that your child is doing better. The physician will inform you of when to come back, but make sure you schedule your follow – up visit before you leave our office. This insures the date and time you need. 

Vaccine Only Visits
The physician will inform you of when to come back for a vaccines only visit, but make sure you schedule your appointment before you leave our office. This will assure you get the date and time that works best for you. 

Saturday Appointments
Saturday appointments are by appointment only. If your child is sick please call to schedule your appointment that morning. Well visits are limited on Saturdays so please schedule this way in advance because it books up quickly.

Appointment Cancellations
If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call and reschedule.  If you are running late, please notify our office so they may switch the appointment to the appropriate time; however if it is a well visit or a follow – up visit and we do not have that time slot available we must reschedule your appointment for the next available day.
