“I have always felt welcome and confident in their care.”

I take my two young sons here and have always felt welcome and confident in their care. We have seen most of the providers and have always left feeling better than when we came in. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking!

“I am thankful for a doctor’s office I can trust and rely on.”

I adore Dr. Jessica, Mark & Dr Bailey. They have heard me out when I have questions. They also make me feel very comfortable and confident after every visit. I now have 3 little boys and am thankful for a doctor's office I can trust and rely on.

After-Hours Care

If your child’s illness or injury is life threatening, dial 911.

For urgent matters that cannot wait until business hours, our office provides an after-hours emergency triage service (4:30pm–8:00am) for cases where a parent or caregiver needs to speak with a registered nurse for medical advice. There is a charge of $25 for this service that is not covered by insurance.

For all other routine calls such as medication refills, dosing questions, etc. please call during our regularly scheduled hours.

Many health insurance companies have their own nurse advice line. Please check the back of your insurance card/policy for details.
