What is the patient portal and how does it work?

We are proud to offer our Patient Portal, which allows our patients and families to have 24-hour access to information about our practice, answers to frequently asked questions and helpful links to other health sites. Our team will be there whenever you need us.

Emergency Visits

The team at Summit Pediatrics understands the challenges of today’s parents. After-hour care for your child is very important to our pediatrician. That is why you can reach out to our pediatric doctors 24/7. Only 17% of our patients call the practice before utilizing an emergency room or urgent care center.

After Hours

As a complete “medical home” for your child, Summit Pediatrics is conscious of the fact that children do not always fall ill during office hours.

Well-Child Visits (annual physical exam)

During a well-child visit, a provider will conduct a comprehensive assessment of a child’s physical and emotional development, guide parents on immunizations, and conduct any necessary tests. After the age of four, a provider will routinely screen vision and hearing of all patients. To learn more about well-child visits, click here.

Depression and Anxiety Screening

Pediatricians routinely screen preteens (starting at age12) and teens for indicators of depression and anxiety. As your child reaches adolescence, there are times the pediatrician may ask to speak to your child privately to ensure they are getting a full assessment of their state of mind.

Pediatric Travel Medicine

Traveling domestically and internationally can have potential health risks. If you are planning travel and want to learn about health care precautions and ensure your child is up to date on all appropriate vaccines, please call your pediatrician’s office to either speak to a nurse or schedule a visit.
