Parents and family visits
Visits for parents, and for the whole family in one trip
Adults can see the same doctor their children see, and the front desk books the family back to back.
Parents carry car seats, drive to practices and sit through games. If you want a doctor to look at how you move, you can book your visit beside your child's, at the same office.
Who it is for
Parents and grandparents
Families with two or more children
Anyone who wants one trip instead of three
What a visit includes
One office, one trip
Your questions first
The doctor asks about your health history and what you want from a visit.
An exam at your pace
A hands-on look at how you move, explained as it happens.
Care, only if you agree
The doctor explains the options and the risks that apply to you before any care.
Scheduling that fits the family
The front desk books siblings and parents back to back, and checks benefits for each of you.
Good to know
Frequency, limits and cost
How long and how often
Your doctor sets a plan after the exam and reviews it with you at each visit. We do not promise a number of visits.
What we do not claim
We do not say care treats illness, and we do not promise results or a number of visits.
See a physician first
Call 911 or see a physician first if you have chest pain, a sudden severe headache or anything that feels like an emergency.
How it is paid
We bill most PPO plans and some employer plans, and you hear the fee for each part before it happens.
