Came in Saturday morning after having chills overnight and lingering cough and head congestion knowing I was going to need some sort of antibiotic possibly. Was prescribed amoxicillin started taking immediately noticing the congestion starting to break up then woke up Monday morning with diarrhea and my tongue broke out with sores a quick Google search online says it could be a possible reaction to amoxicillin. Called immediate care back They said to come in right away and tried to get me to charge another appointment which is 150 out of pocket every time One would think if somebody was having a reaction to a drug they prescribed would work with that customer to correct any issues that may arise from taking said drugLost my business

After three separate visits I have never walked out with anything more than a piece of paper describing What Is a Cold charges that my insurance company will decline to pay and hours of my time wasted yes even when pre-booking a time slot online.Most disturbingly their billing is so poorly run that theyve charged us multiple times for the same visit.

I needed to find health care quick fast and in a hurry as my daughter started to show flu-like symptoms. I made my appointment online and registered. We arrived about 5 minutes prior to our appointment checked in with the office attendant who confirmed our information and right on time we were called to get checked. The nurse practitioner was so sweet and patient with my daughter who was not only very sick but nervous and worried about what procedures would take place. The nurse reassured her that everything would be okay and that she would let her know all the steps and guide her through any procedures before doing them. My daughter was calm during all the proceduresswabbing thanks to the nurse.

I came in with the normal viral symptoms of a cough and cold- appropriate for the season. I was greeted with a smile and kindness upon check-in. I did not have to wait very long. Once I was in the room the PCT was very professional and courteous. She jotted down all my symptoms and took the appropriate cultures. After cultures came back-negative- the NP addressed my issues and concerns. She took the time to counsel me with alternatives to my issues as Ive been rundown from dealing with my critically ill father. It took nothing but a few kind words a simple gesture of compassion and empathy to leave an exemplary review. Thank you to all of you for your support.

I took my three-year-old daughter here late on a Saturday evening. The receptionist nurses and doctors were incredibly kind. They were great with my daughter and put her at ease. They listened to our concerns with compassion and were very helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your pediatrician might be able to administer screenings, but most general doctors are not trained to formally diagnose autism. They might refer you to a qualified diagnostic clinician which include:
Developmental Pediatricians
Child Psychologists
Child Psychiatrists
Pediatric Neurologists
Pediatric Neuropsychologists
Your experience might look different depending on the type of clinician you choose. Many families prefer working with developmental pediatricians. Others might work with a psychiatrist or another specialist to get a different perspective.
A formal ASD diagnosis, or a medical diagnosis, helps you get the support your family needs, especially within the context of accessing medically necessary therapies and services.
Insurance Coverage for Therapies: Medically necessary therapies for ASD are often covered by insurance including, but not limited to, speech therapy, ABA therapy, and occupational therapy.
Financial Support: A diagnosis is required when applying for social security or disability benefits.
Plan for Care: A diagnosis helps identify your child’s support needs. For example, your child might need to develop social communication and self-regulation skills.
Future Research: The more data we gather through evaluations, the more we can improve services for autistic children and adults.
The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your child’s strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about your child’s skills, and your child will most likely demonstrate their skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a few hours.
Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your child’s needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with your child and your family, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon a child’s strengths. Some exercises your child might participate in are animal walks, obstacle courses, and therapy swing activities. Your family may learn strategies for supporting your child’s individualized needs at home, such as ways of supporting emotional regulation and sensory processing. The therapist may also recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help your child succeed.
Monitor your child’s progress. Parents and caregivers can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure the child is achieving their short and long-term goals.
Occupational therapy can also be provided virtually via telemedicine. Virtual therapy is a great option for families in rural areas who may not have access to in-person services, or for families who prefer to have therapy in their child’s home.
Virtual OT allows the opportunity for increased caregiver participation and understanding of a child’s strengths, areas of improvement, and generalization of skills in the child’s home environment. Virtual therapy also provides increased opportunities for caregiver and family education to support the child and the family based on each family’s needs.
Once you find a quality physical therapist you want to work with, here are a few things you need to know:
There will be an evaluation. First, you can expect an assessment to identify your child’s areas of strength and needs. A physical therapy evaluation usually lasts 30 minutes.
You’ll review and approve the care plan. The physical therapist will create a care plan, also known as a plan of care (POC), outlining the goals and strategies. They will review this with you and your care team before moving forward with therapy sessions.
Physical therapy sessions will be fun. PT with children is designed to be enjoyable. The therapist will use strategies and exercises based on your child’s needs. Exercises might involve playing on large stability balls, obstacle courses, movement equipment, stretches, and other hands-on activities.
Expect home exercises. Physical therapists commonly assign exercises to work on at home. Doing these exercises with your child outside therapy sessions can improve your child’s overall progress.
Yes! Most providers offer physical therapy in their offices or a clinical setting, but many are offering at-home options. Virtual options have become more popular in recent years. You might facilitate care with the guidance of the physical therapist.
Pediatric physical therapy is considered safe and should not hurt. Autistic children spend their time in PT moving and exploring their environment. If you are concerned about your child experiencing pain during certain exercises, especially if they may struggle to communicate and advocate for modifications, speak with their physical therapist about your concerns.
