FOREIGN TRAVEL
We will schedule an office visit to address your child’s special travel needs. When making these appointments, it is important to be specific about the place of travel and the duration of the time you will be away. To this point: do not say, “We are going to South America for about two months.” A more precise response would be, “We are going to Peru for 6 weeks this summer.” By being specific, we will be certain to have the specific vaccines and medications necessary for your specific travel.
HEALTH FORMS
The office will gladly complete necessary health forms for your child. Please allow 7 business days for the completion of these forms. Your child’s annual WELL CHILD VISIT must be current before the form can be completed. Because of HIPPA regulations, these forms cannot be faxed or emailed, nor can they be left outside the office for pick-up. You may leave a stamped, self-addressed envelope and the form will be mailed. If you choose, you may come back to the office to get your completed form. Feel free to make a copy of your child’s form as we do not keep copies. Please be certain that you have completed the parents’ portion of the form and sign where indicated before leaving it with us. Failure to complete the parents’ portion will result in a delay in the completion. There is a $15 fee for the completion of all forms which must be paid at the time the form is presented for completion.
LETTERS
Requests for letters of any kind require 10-14 business days for completion. It is the parents’ responsibility to provide in writing the nature of the letter requested, the name and address of the person receiving the letter, and any supplemental documentation as needed. There is a $25 fee payable at the time the letter is requested.
