Office Hours

Monday - Friday
8:30 am - 5:00 pm

Saturday
8:30 am - 12:00 pm

We require an appointment for your child to be seen. We understand that children can become ill quickly and unexpectedly, which is why we reserve a portion of our daily schedule for sick children. We do our best to schedule these visits as same-day appointments. Please call to make an appointment. Our in-office phone lines are open 8AM-5PM.

Be advised that call volumes are high between 8:00am – 9:00am, so if you have a non-urgent medical question, consider calling later in the day or send us a portal message, and our triage nurse will contact you at their soonest availability.

Appointment Policies

After-Hours Care

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

POISON CONTROL HOTLINE
1 (800) 222-1222

Our after hours line is intended for emergency or urgent situation. For urgent medical issues when the office is closed, reach our on-call physician by calling our office at (703) 522-7300. Please leave a message with our answering service that includes your child’s name and age, a contact phone number, a pharmacy number if needed, and a description of the medical issue. The on-call provider or our nurse triage service will call you back.

Due to the high volume of after hours calls, we kindly request that you wait to discuss any non-urgent medical questions and prescription requests with our nurse triage service until the following business day. 

There may be a small fee assessed to after-hours calls between 5pm – 10pm.

The overnight (10pm – 8am) $25 phone triage fee remains in effect.
