If you call the afternoon before, they won't schedule you for the next day.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659581 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 20:01:36 +0000 prettylizy 659581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried to, but she's pretty awesome so I'm sure she'd fit me in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659576 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 20:01:05 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 659576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: the entire reason I picked my doc!<br /> Our ped's office isn't very busy and my ped is close to retirement so he he wasn't taking new patients. He took our child because we're neighbors and he is an old time friend.<br /> I like it that way!<br /> I am assuming for future/additional children, I'll start having to do research on a new ped but for now and another 2-3 years, we are OK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659564 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:59:28 +0000 anbanan15 659564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we have always been able to get a same day visit, although it has never been with the pediatrician that is following LO's case. We actually had two same day visits this past week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659559 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:58:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 659559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh no and I'm so upset about it.</p> <p>He had roseola in November and they were full so we never brought him in. And today he has croup, we went to the ER and called to schedule a follow up with the ped for Monday and the scheduling guy on the phone said no!</p> <p>In our initial interview with the ped she said same-day sick visits were allowed. And this isn't even same-day today - I'm talking a few days from now and the guy at the clinic told me I couldn't see our dr until mid-April! Even when I said my son was croup and a possible ear infection!</p> <p>I emailed my ped and hoping she'll get back to me before the weekend and we can get this situated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659553 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:57:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 659553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>always and usually within the hour. probably one of the biggest plusses of going to a practice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659546 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:56:08 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 659546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they always leave some slots open for people who need same day visits! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659522 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:51:29 +0000 sunshineandsushi 659522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659507 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:49:14 +0000 Irishmom 659507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...it may not be with our doctor, but with one of them in the practice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659470 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:44:38 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 659470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but we're at a big practice that often feels like a doctor factory. I am thinking of making a switch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659467 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:44:26 +0000 mediagirl 659467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Even during the height of flu season, we were able to get in to see a doc (with our lo in her carseat, covered by a blanket). :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659460 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:42:28 +0000 mrsjazz 659460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't needed to, but I know we can...I've seen parents walk-in with children at almost every appointment for LO. Also, our pediatrician is part of a network, so even if we couldn't go to our location, we could go to another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659450 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 19:40:49 +0000 T-Mom 659450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes always, but not with our actual pediatrician. It's always always someone else in the practice who isn't quite as "popular" as our doctor... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659120 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:49:27 +0000 tequiero21 659120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659119 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:49:11 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 659119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but frequently they say, "what do you think she has" and then call us in whatever we need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659113 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:48:55 +0000 Mrs. Train 659113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sick checks we always get in right away, physicals take a while to schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659105 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:47:41 +0000 MrsHotDog 659105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They always are able to see us right away. The majority of times they ask if we can come in now or within two hours. I seriously love my pediatrician. And she is so understanding how my constant paranoia! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659096 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:47:09 +0000 autumnlove 659096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, yes! Sometimes our Dr is off or booked up but we can see another Dr at the practice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-659089 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:46:16 +0000 Rubies 659089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We HAVE been able to the one time we needed it. I'm not sure, in general, how easy it is or if we got lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-get-in-for-same-day-sick-visits-at-pediatrician#post-658429 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:45:00 +0000 winniebee 658429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We can. Curious if this is standard! </p>
