Your child can be scheduled for a New Patient appointment if you have the insurance authorization, but you should know that we will need your medical records at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment. If we do not receive medical records at least 2 weeks prior to the scheduled appointment, the appointment WILL be cancelled and you will have to reschedule.
