Dangers of Magnetic Toys and Fake Piercings...

Refrigerator magnets and other magnetic toys can provide a fun, educational experience for many young children. However, loose magnets and magnetic toys designed for adults can cause serious injuries and lifelong impacts for children and teens.

Summer is fun...but water safety is a concern
For children under age 5, drowning is the single leading cause of accidental death. Approximately 89% of drowning occur in home pools although bath tubs and buckets can be hazardous as well.

Ticks
This summer ticks will be very numerous. Most tick bites are harmless, but ticks can spread disease. This risk can be minimized if they are removed within 12 hours, therefore regular "tick-checks" are important.

We've Launched Our New Patient Online Services

Many of you enjoy the online services we provide here on our website, such as requesting appointments or asking questions. These same tools will still be available, but in a brand new service.

We're proud to announce Patient Portal. Initially, it will require you to set up a new account, which may take a bit longer than on our old system, but we feel this technology is moving us forward to improve our service.

You will still be able to request appointments, ask questions, pay a bill and more, but as we continue to develop this technology in the future, you will also be able to receive lab results and medical record information that you request through this patient portal. We are very excited about this new service.

We hope that you will take an extra few minutes to set up an account for your child.
