When your child is ill
When to contact your child’s practice
Both practices reserve time for sick visits and can help families decide the safest next step. Contact your child’s office as early as possible when same-day care may be needed.
Same-day appointments
Sick-visit appointments are set aside each day. Contact the office early for the best chance of a same-day opening.
Call-first guidance
Describe your child’s symptoms, when they began, and any medicines already given. The office will help determine the next step.
Doctor on call
After-hours concerns can be directed to the practice’s on-call pediatric team by calling the regular office number.
Telemedicine
Some concerns may be appropriate for a virtual visit. The office can tell you whether an in-person exam may be needed.
Practice-specific care
The right scheduling path for your practice
Both MAPP practices provide sick care, but their scheduling processes are different. Choosing your child’s practice first helps you avoid an unnecessary transfer.
The practice-specific pages explain how to request same-day care, what information to have ready, and how to reach the on-call provider after hours.
