Services
Fairview Pediatrics is a primary-care pediatrics practice. We offer the following services to our patients and their families:
Well-Child Visits
We provide routine preventative medical care from birth to age 26.
Sick Visits
We reserve appointments each day for patients who need to come into the office for a urgent care or evaluation of a chronic condition. Our nursing staff is available during office hours to assist patients in determining the type of appointment needed or to discuss home-care options.
Nutrition Counseling
We provide on-site nutrition counseling for our patients on an as-needed basis.
Prenatal Visits
Expectant parents are welcome to schedule an appointment to meet with one of our providers and visit our office. Please see our "For Expectant Parents" page for more information.
Reach Out and Read
We are proud to be participating providers in the Reach Out and Read Program, which provides support, information, and books to parents of children ages 6 months to five years. The goal of the program is to increase literacy by reinforcing the importance of reading to your child in the preschool years.
Weekend Hours
Appointments are available on Saturday morning for urgent care only. We recommend calling our office between 8am and 9am to schedule an appointment, as our hours are based on the volume of calls received that day. Our on-call physician is available on Sunday mornings on an as-needed basis. Again, we recommend calling between 8am and 9 am if you feel that your child needs care that day.
Evening Hours
Our practice has extended hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings to help meet the needs of our patients' schedules.
After Hours Care
A provider from our practice is always on-call for after-hours emergencies. We are contracted with an after-hours nursing triage service to provide advice for our patients should an urgent or emergency situation occur while our practice is closed. Our after-hours serrvices are for urgent care only, and we appreciate your waiting until regular office hours to call for routine and non-urgent questions.
On-Site Laboratory Services
Phlebotomy services and specimen collections are available in our office. We perform various on-site testing services based on our patient's needs. Our specimens are sent to Baystate Reference Labs.
Refills and Referrals
Requests for prescription refills or specialist referrals are only processed during normal weekday business hours. We require 24 hours to process prescription refill requests, and we would appreciate at least 48 hours notice for referral requests.
Forms
Our staff will complete school, camp, and sports physical forms for patients on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the high volume of forms received, please allow at least 3-4 business days for your paperwork to be completed, and please complete any required parent-supplied information on the form before giving it to our staff for completion. Please verify that your child has had a physical exam in the last 12 months when dropping off your paperwork, or we may not be able to complete your form. Due to health information privacy laws, our office policy does not allow fax transmission of forms, but we will mail your paperwork back to you if you provide us with a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Copays and Insurance
We are required to collect any copay that your insurance requires at the time of service. We accept cash, credit cards, and checks as forms of payment. Please see our "Accepted Insurances" page for more information.
