Sick Child
Despite the best childcare in the world, sometimes our children will get sick. This is not a time to panic—it's a time to be informed. The best thing you can do is to understand when you need to come into the office; and when you just need to ride out the storm.
KidsDoc Symptom Checker
This app costs $1.99, and I highly recommend it. KidsDoc was designed using the Barton-Schmitt protocols used by pediatricians and nurses all over the United States and Canada. It's a great resource for advice on home care, when to call the doctor or and when to call 911.
Poison Control App
There's no substitute for actually calling poison control, but this app is a fantastic resource for a first glance.
Emergency Care
If you do need to take your child to the emergency room, these three hospitals are the only hospitals that staff emergency-room physicians specializing in pediatric emergency care. It is our preference that if you are driving yourself to an emergency room, that you go to one of these three locations.
