Sick Visits

Sick Visits

Sherif Pediatrics understands that having a sick child causes worry and stress for your family. We offer same day appointments and walk-ins for acute illness and have telephone triage available during office hours to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Same day appointments are available for scheduling beginning at 8 AM. Remember that during stressful times, you and your child will be more comfortable with people that you know.

 

Often it is better to treat symptoms overnight and be seen in the morning at our clinic than to rush to an ER or an urgent care facility. If you need help after hours, you can call our office number 575-392-1503 and reach the answering service or call the answering service directly at 575-391-5900. They will discuss your child’s symptoms with you and help you decide how best to handle the situation either by connecting you to the doctor , advise you to wait until our office is open or ask you to go to the ER.

 

During sick visits, Dr. Sherif treats many different illnesses. He also takes care of children who have suffered an injury.

 

Please contact us if your child is sick to schedule an appointment or feel free to walk-in to our office during or regular business hours if your child gets suddenly sick. We are here to take care of your child during those difficult times.
