FAQ

We are currently not accepting new patients or adding to our waiting list. We will be reevaluating this status on November 30, 2023.

If your child has a life-threatening emergency, call 911. If your child has an emergency or serious injury (such as a broken bone), please take him/her to the Kentucky Children’s Hospital emergency room (ER). If you have an urgent question (such as whether or not your child needs to go the ER) call the office number. You will be directed to the after-hours call phone. Please see Clinic Policies on use of the after-hours service.

I will no longer be able to provide care to your child. The good news is that nearly every pediatric practice in town accepts nearly every type of private insurance.

I do not accept patients with both a primary and secondary insurance.
