We encourage you to have your children seen by a pediatrician on a regular basis for health maintenance visits and to keep your child's immunizations up to date. These visits allow the physician the opportunity to guide you and your children and to hopefully remedy problems before they become major difficulties. Teenagers are in particular need for annual visits to help them through the difficult years of adolescence.

Emergencies
If an absolute emergency exists, take your child to the emergency room at the Beaufort County Hospital and ask the emergency room to call your pediatrician immediately. Try not to use the emergency room for illness other than emergencies. It is better for someone to see your child who is familiar with his or her particular problems. Also, emergency rooms are more expensive than office visits. Please try to make appointments for your visits when possible. It is our sincere desire to try and see appointments first and on time.

Special Note: After Office Hours, Weekends or Holidays:
An answering service (946-2262) will take all calls. You may be directed to call our Nurse Triage Phone Service during specific hours.
This service will put you in contact with trained nurses at UNC-Chapel Hill, who can offer you medical advice. If necessary, or if you would like to speak with the doctor further, the nurse will contact the doctor on call, who will then return your call as soon as possible.
