Urgent Needs

If you are concerned that your child may need an evaluation on an urgent basis, please see this information from Seattle Children's to help determine if you should go to Urgent Care or go directly to the Emergency Department.

After-Hours Care

If a non-emergency medical problem arises after routine office hours, call our office at 253-564-1115 and you will be connected to a triage nurse. They can give you advice on your child’s problem. If needed, they can contact our on-call physician. Please note that there is a $20 charge for each call that is not billable to insurance. You can contact your insurance to see if any health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA) funds can be used.

You may also send us non-urgent questions via our Patient Portal or wait to contact us when our office reopens. Please note that we monitor portal messages during office hours only.
