Please let the receptionist know you would like a same-day appointment and mention your child’s symptoms. Our office has a full-service lab to complete blood tests, urinalysis and throat cultures on-site. This means your child’s illness can be diagnosed quickly and you can begin treatment without delay.

We believe that vaccines are an important part of both public health and the health of our patients. Thus, Dr. Benson and Dr. Malloney require our patients to be vaccinated according to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control guidelines. We typically defer or do not give vaccines to children only when a medical condition deems appropriate. For information about these vaccines and the diseases they protect against, please visit http://www.aap.org/healthtopics/immunizations.cfm.
