How Does My Child Become a Patient?
For Newborns
Just prior to discharge, call our office to schedule your baby's first appointment. This first appointment is typically 3-5 days after discharge from the hospital but may be sooner in some cases.
For New Families Transferring to Us
Our goal is to provide the best medical care for your children. To do this successfully, we must be able to review all of your children's medical records from all providers that your children have seen. It is our policy to receive your children's previous medical records prior to your first appointment.
Once the records are received, we will review them to determine if they are complete or sufficient for us to begin caring for your children.
Are We a Good Fit For You?
It is crucial when choosing a pediatric practice for your children that you have given serious consideration to the fit between the practice philosophies and your own.
Please read the following checklist carefully to be sure Ellis Pediatrics is the appropriate medical home for your children.
If you have not already done so, please sign a release of records form and provide it to your child's previous medical provider.
Please be aware that under federal (HIPAA) and state laws, your previous medical provider may charge a "reasonable, cost-based fee" to copy your childrens medical records. This cost is your responsibility. This fee may be waived if records are sent directly to our office.
If you have not already done so, please sign a release of records form and provide it to your children's previous medical provider.
We look forward to meeting you and your family.
For any additional questions, please call our office.
