We encourage you to have
your children seen by a pediatrician on a regular basis for health
maintenance visits and to keep your child's immunizations up to
date. These visits allow the physician the opportunity to guide you
and your children and to hopefully remedy problems before they
become major difficulties. Teenagers are in particular need for
annual visits to help them through the difficult years of
adolescence.
Emergencies
If an absolute emergency exists, take your
child to the emergency room at the Vidant Beaufort Hospital and ask
the emergency room to call your pediatrician immediately. Try not to
use the emergency room for illness other than emergencies. It is
better for someone to see your child who is familiar with his or her
particular problems. Also, emergency rooms are more expensive than
office visits. Please try to make appointments for your visits when
possible. It is our sincere desire to try and see appointments first
and on time.

as possible.
