Appointments
To schedule an appointment, call (616) 394-3788. School, camp and sports physicals and well-child and routine adult visits should be made well in advance. If you are unable to keep your appointment or will be late, please call our office to cancel or reschedule. Please make every effort to keep your appointment. Time is available each day to treat acute illnesses or urgent problems.
We request that you call our office early in the day if you wish to be seen that same day. A parent or legal guardian must accompany any child being seen for a physical or immunizations. If your child is ill and someone else is bringing him / her into the office, please include a signed permission slip so we can examine and/or treat your child.
We will do our best to maintain a schedule that does not result in long waiting periods. Please understand, however, that emergency patients and other factors may cause unplanned changes in our schedule.
We ask for your patience during these times, and if you are unable to wait, please tell our receptionist. In such cases we will conveniently reschedule your appointment if necessary.
