Pediatrician Accepting New Patients in Scottsdale, AZ

At KidsHealth Pediatrics, we believe that a well-informed healthcare provider can offer the best care. Therefore, we encourage you to gather the following items and provide as much information as possible about your child’s health history before their first appointment with us.

● Medical Records and History: Primarily, we need your child’s past medical records, including immunization records and any other pertinent health history. This data will assist our pediatricians in providing the best possible care. Remember to include any current symptoms, allergies, or medications your child is on, even non-prescription drugs, vitamins, or herbal supplements, specifying the dosage and frequency.
● Insurance Information: For billing purposes, please bring your child’s health insurance card and your identification. If your child has coverage under multiple insurance plans, bring information for each to ensure proper processing.
● Clothing and Diapering Supplies: We recommend dressing your child in comfortable clothing for easier access during the examination. If your child requires diapers, please bring a diaper bag complete with wipes and any necessary creams or lotions.
● Comfort Items: To make the visit less stressful for your child, bring along a favorite toy, book, or comfort item. A small blanket can also provide added comfort and reassurance during the check-up.
● Snacks and Drinks: Post-examination, your child might be a bit peckish or thirsty. Bringing a small snack or drink can help keep them content and calm.
● Additional Considerations: For newborns and infants, don’t forget a car seat or stroller. If you have noticed any changes in your child’s behavior, growth, eating or sleeping habits, or have any specific concerns or questions about their health, jot them down to discuss with our pediatrician. You might also consider being accompanied by a spouse, family member, or friend for emotional support.

At KidsHealth Pediatrics, we believe that our medical practice should be comprehensive, patient-centered, and equipped to accommodate the unique needs of each pediatric patient, especially those with chronic conditions or special needs. Our team of pediatric healthcare professionals is trained to manage a wide range of health conditions such as juvenile diabetes, burns, sprains and strains, cough, and more.

Special Needs

For our patients with cardiovascular disease and physically impaired, we strive to ensure that our pediatric clinic is accessible and comfortable. Our facilities are child-friendly and include features like ramps, elevators, and wide doorways for easy access. We have trained staff to assist kids with mobility challenges, and we offer flexible scheduling that minimizes wait times and provides ample time for communication. Accommodations such as pediatric-appropriate wheelchairs, and walkers, are available.

Chronic Conditions

Our approach to managing chronic conditions in children is comprehensive and personalized. This includes a thorough medical history review to understand the individual needs of our young patients, regular check-ups, routine screenings, and personalized treatment plans. Our goal is to help manage your child’s chronic condition, improve their quality of life, and prevent complications.

Patient Communication

We believe that clear communication is vital in providing optimal pediatric care. We encourage open and respectful dialogue between patients, healthcare providers, and caregivers.

The time taken for a regular check-up or non-emergency visit can range from a few days to several weeks, depending on the season and the state of health in our community. We do offer same-day appointments in some cases, but typically, our schedule may be booked out a few weeks in advance.

The type of pediatric specialist required also affects the wait time. For instance, appointments with our senior pediatrician generally have longer wait times due to high demand. On the other hand, our general pediatricians might have a shorter waiting period.

The urgency of your child’s medical condition also influences the wait time. In cases of emergencies, we prioritize immediate attention. However, non-urgent issues might entail longer wait times.

Additionally, the type of insurance coverage and our participation in different insurance networks could potentially lengthen your wait if you need to find a pediatrician who accepts your insurance.

To potentially reduce wait times, consider calling early in the morning when our phone lines open, checking our online portal for appointment scheduling, opting for off-peak hours, and being flexible with weekdays or less popular times.

Always make sure to directly contact us at KidsHealth Pediatrics to inquire about specific appointment availability and wait times.

If during your child’s treatment, we identify the need for specialized care, we are committed to providing you with timely and appropriate referrals. Our pediatricians will conduct a thorough examination, diagnosis, and careful assessment of your child’s medical history, current symptoms, and diagnostic results.

If we determine that a specialist’s intervention is necessary, we will discuss this with you and explain our recommendation.

Once we identify the need for a referral, we will collaborate with you to choose the most suitable specialist for your child’s specific condition, considering your preferences, convenience, and your child’s comfort. We also provide detailed information about the specialist’s credentials, experience, and areas of expertise.

At KidsHealth Pediatrics, we prioritize continuity of care for your child. To ensure a smooth transition to a specialist, our team takes care of scheduling appointments, transferring medical records, and providing any required documentation. Throughout the treatment process, we maintain clear communication with the specialist to track your child’s progress and adjust the care plan as needed.

Our goal is to provide your child with the highest quality of pediatric care by connecting you with the most appropriate specialists when necessary. By partnering with renowned medical professionals and working closely with you, we aim to optimize your child’s health outcomes and ensure their well-being.
