How West End Pediatrics Can Best Help You and Your Child How West End Pediatrics Can Best Help You and Your Child

  • We offer handouts on specific problems to help inform and educate you about your child’s health.

How You Can Best Help Your Child
The ultimate responsibility for your child’s health lies with you. You can help us in providing the best care for your child by:

  • Learning about your child’s health. We may suggest changes at home and in your lifestyle. We know these changes are not easy, so we suggest learning as much as possible so we may work with you on any problems.
  • Letting us know as much as possible during your visit. Keep a journal if necessary.
  • Asking questions. Do not hesitate to ask about your child. The better you understand the problem, the easier it is for everyone.
  • Calling 24 hours in advance if you have to cancel an appointment.
  • Understanding your financial obligations. Each insurance company’s policies are different. We work with a number of insurance firms, and our billing office will submit claims, on your behalf, to the insurance companies with which we participate. For more information, click here.
