We highly recommend making appointments. Please notify our office in advance if you are running late or unable to make your appointment. Our staff will do their best to re-schedule you promptly.

For scheduling purposes, every sibling will need to have an appointment in order to be seen by the physician.

• Late arrival policy: Patients arriving more than 15 minutes late may be asked to reschedule their appointment.
• No-show Policy: If you do not call to notify us of either cancellation or tardiness, you will be considered a no-show. If you have three no-shows, you may be discharged from our clinic.

Asthma Patients

In order to be up-to-date, patient needs to be seen every 3 months to be eligible for prescription refills.

Vaccine Policy Statement

At Hummingbird Pediatrics we believe vaccines prevent serious illness and save lives. For this reason, we require all our patients to be vaccinated, following the vaccine schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Based on all available literature and current studies, vaccines do not cause autism or other developmental disabilities. Thimerosal, a preservative that had been in vaccines for decades but is no longer in any vaccine we administer, does not cause autism or other developmental disabilities.

Please be advised that delaying or breaking up the vaccines to give one or two at a time goes against expert recommendations. This can put your child at risk for serious illness (or even death) and goes against our medical advice as providers at Hummingbird Pediatrics. If you decide not to vaccinate your child despite all our efforts based on medical, religious and conscientious reasons, we require you to sign a vaccine refusal form which will be sent to the state and your insurance.
