If your child has suffered a medical emergency, please call 911 immediately.

Due Covid-19, we have suspended our walk-in hours.  Please call before coming to the office.

Saturday appointments are for acute illness and newborn visits only and require an appointment.

Weekend visits may incur an additional charge depending on your insurance.

Scheduling

We are able to schedule urgent sick visits the same day. Physical exams can be scheduled up to a year in advance. You may receive an automated call telling you that your child is on a wait list for an appointment. This is a reminder to call for an appointment. Every effort is made to schedule with your preferred provider.

Timber Lane Pediatrics strives to provide ample time at each visit for the practitioner to listen to you, examine your child, and review the medical diagnosis and plan with you. We try to balance this goal with the goals of seeing patients in a timely manner, and being available for as many patients as may need to be seen in the course of a day.

At times, our providers run late due to emergencies or other circumstances out of our control. We understand that your time is valuable and will do our utmost to see your child on time.

Patients who arrive late for appointments may be asked to reschedule. Calling the office to inform us you will be late is appreciated, but may not guarantee that the practitioner will be able to see you. If you are scheduled for a same-day sick visit, and you are late, we may ask that you see another provider or come back later in the day. To allow time for check-in you should arrive a few minutes before your appointment.

In most circumstances we open our providers’ schedules several months in advance. Because of changing schedules, there may be instances when these appointments must be changed.

Missed or late appointments

If you must cancel an appointment, please call the office at least 24 hours in advance so that we can reschedule you and make that time available to others.  Multiple missed appointments may result in discharge from the practice.

Student Training

Our providers feel that teaching the next generation of medical providers is extremely important. During your visit, we may have medical students, pediatric residents, and nurse practitioner or physician assistant students working with us. Your provider’s nurse will ask you if a student may participate in your child’s care.

Hospital Affiliations

Our physicians have privileges and are affiliated with University of Vermont Medical Center.
