When we have missed appointments, it not only increases our costs, but it inconveniences other patients because those time slots are not available for them. We realize that emergencies arise, but we feel that cancellation at least 24 hours in advance is reasonable under most circumstances. If no notice is given, we reserve the right to charge a fee of $20.00 too offset our costs.

County Schools require children trying out for school sports to have annual physical exams. Camps and daycares may also require physical exams annually or every two years. Even though we may see your child periodically during the year for other reasons, these visits are not considered complete physicals and cannot be used to complete your child's form. If your child desires to participate in school sports or attend camp, and if a physical exam is needed, please call early to schedule an appointment.

You will recieve one free copy of the state required forms. Any additional forms can be requested for a charge of $5.00

Use the Seat That's Right For Your Child and Use It Correctly

Car safety seats can only protect your child if they are used on every trip and used the way the manufacturer says.

The car safety seat must be belted to the car correctly, and the child must be harnessed into the seat correctly every time the child rides in the car. Children should face the rear of the vehicle until they are at least 1 year old and weigh at least 20 lbs. A convertible car safety seat may be used rear facing up to 20 lbs. and 1 year of age, then turned around for use up to 40 lbs. and may be used as long as the child fits well. A belt-positioning booster should be used when the child has outgrown the convertible seat but is too small to use the vehicle's safety belts. Vehicle safety belts should not be used alone until the shoulder belt can be positioned across the chest with the lap belt snug across the thighs. This is usually at approximately 4 feet 9 inches in height or 80 lbs. in weight.

Remember: Safety seats and seat belts can significantly decrease the number of deaths and serious injuries in accidents. In North Carolina, children are required to be in safety seats or seat belts by law.

A rear facing car seat should not be placed on the front seat. Children should ride in the back seat until age 12.
