Should I take my child to a primary care doctor or a pediatrician?

In many cases, the family medicine team at Payne Advanced Family Care provides the same care that your child would receive from a pediatrician. Primary care providers have extensive training in all common childhood health issues and normal growth and development, so your child can receive appropriate care based on their age, development, and health condition.

If your child requires specialist care for a more complex pediatric condition, the team provides referrals to pediatricians and other specialists, like audiologists and ear, nose, and throat doctors.

Are emergency appointments available for children?

The team offers flexible scheduling to accommodate many childhood emergencies during normal business hours.

If it's a medical emergency that requires care in the middle of the night, the team recommends visiting your nearest hospital emergency room or urgent care center. The team can provide you with referrals during any routine visit, so you know where to go in the event of an emergency.
