SERVICES
Child and Adolescent Care
We believe that every child should be seen as soon as possible and will offer you an appointment the same day with either provider. If an appointment cannot be made for the same day, we shall certainly discuss treatment options to make your child comfortable till seen.
All physical appointments are made as per the schedule and we shall try and schedule the appointment with the provider of choice. A schedule of the physicals and vaccinations advised by the American Academy of Pediatrics is available.
To establish a rapport with both providers, we request that you schedule visits with both at different visits. When both providers are in the office, they discuss the care of each child and Dr. Limaye will come in at the end of the visit to answer any questions you may have. Both providers update each other at the end of the day.
Calls During Office Hours:
Every call is answered as fast as possible. If the call is deemed urgent, the staff will get the provider out of the room. If it is a routine call, you can expect an answer either at lunch time or before the end of the day.
