Sick Visits

Expert Pediatricians are Here When Your Child Is Not Feeling Well

For our office to better assist you, please schedule appointments online whenever possible. Sick appointments are made in the evening after 5 pm for the next day, or in the morning for the same day. We hold back time and release it each evening. If you look for an appointment in advance and do not see one, check back after 5 pm. If you are looking for a same day appointment and do not see one, please call the office at 215-774-1166. We will squeeze you in or add you on. We don't go home until all the sick children are seen!


Please schedule a separate visit for each child to be seen. Try not to have a gap between them..

  • My child is sick - Can we get in?

    We hold back time every day for sick visits. So, if you look at the schedule right now for this coming Friday, it probably looks completely booked. But it’s not. About 90 minutes are blocked, and will be opened Thursday evening, to allow sick kids to get in the same day. Every day is treated in this way. If there are no spots left but your child needs to get in, please call the office at 215-774-1166 and we will squeeze you in.

  • My child is sick, but goes to a different Pediatrician for well-care.

    Please schedule the sick appointment with that pediatrician, rather than at Fairmount Pediatrics. This ensures the best continuity of care for your child. If you wish to transfer all care to Fairmount Pediatrics, please contact the office to arrange a “meet and greet” visit or to obtain a login and register as a patient.
