FOR
NEW PATIENTS: Click

and medical history form. Bringing a completed form for each of your
children at your first visit to our office will save all of us time
when you arrive at the office. Or mail or fax it to us in advance!
At
Framingham
Pediatrics, we believe strongly in
the important relationship between the family pediatrician and
the family. Because we are able to provide the best medical care when
we have a relationship with the whole family, all children in a family
will have the same primary care
physician within our practice. We do recognize that on
occasion
young teenagers will be more comfortable with a physician of the same
gender, so we will allow patients to switch pediatricans to a physician
of the same gender once they reach 12 years of age or older. This is
the only exception to our family based policy, and is the only time
that we will allow patients or families to change physicians within the
practice.
We
appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
In order to enhance the
quality of care that we provide, we are asking all patients to
bring all of their medications to the office with them at each visit.
If your child uses a peak flow meter to monitor his or her asthma,
please bring it along as well. We hope that this will allow us to have
a more complete picture of your child’s overall health care, and
perhaps to do some teaching as well.
Medication Refill Policy
All medication refill requests require at least 48
hours notice to ensure that your child's primary care pediatrician has
the opportunity to review the refill request and has ample time to
contact you with questions or changes he or she may have. Please plan
accordingly
We appreciate your cooperation.
