NEWSFLASH! Policy changes and updates:
Alpharetta Pediatrics ...where KIDS are special!
|
1) WE ARE MOVING!! Effective OCTOBER 1, 2009 we have
relocated our Roswell office. The phone number will remain the
same. Our new address is:
1100 Northmeadow Parkway
Suite 108
Roswell, Georgia 30076
2) Dr. Traxler has had her BABY! William Grant was born on
November 3, 2009 at 3:15pm. He weighed 6lbs 10oz. Mommy
and Grant are doing fine.
3) FLU VACCINE HAS ARRIVED!! We now have Flumist in the
office. Please contact the office to schedule your appointment.
The FLU SHOT is also available for children under 3yrs of age.
We will have limited supplies of adult flushot. Please call the
office for an arrival date.
4) Swine Flu has already hit Georgia. The signs and symptoms
of Swine Flu are similar to the normal seasonal flu. There is
currently NO VACCINE available. The CDC has private
companies working to create a safe and stable vaccine for the
public. The current plan is for the government to issue this
vaccine to State Health Departments and "other medical
offices". It has not been determined what that means yet. We
will work to keep you informed as this information becomes
available.
5) Our current policy regarding MEDICAL NOTES for school or work
absences is that the child must be seen in our office. Due to on going
demands by schools in our area, we may also be required to state a
"return to" date. Any extensions on that date will also require a visit
to the office. Please take note of what your school requires and how
often so that any problems may be avoided. You can find this
information at your county's school system website.
6) We no longer utilize the Children's Healthcare Nurse Advice Line
as a part of our AFTER HOURS PHONE CARE. Our doctors handle all
phone calls after hours. If you have a question that does not require
our doctor's medical opinion, you may contact anyone of your choice
and no report is necessary for our office.
7) We now require you to show your INSURANCE CARD and pay your
copay at the beginning of each visit. Please make sure to have that
information available and current.
