A special message from Surf City Pediatrics

With SURF CITY PEDIATRICS now being able to perform Telemedicine, we wanted to post some specific medical conditions that we feel are appropriate and convenient for the use of Telemedicine in lieu of an in-office visit.

1. All fever with respiratory symptoms will be triaged initially by phone. Depending on severity, a Telemedicine appointment with one of our providers to screen for possible COVID-19 symptoms will be provided.
2. Developmental questions (such as feeding, sleeping, developmental concerns)
3. Behavioral/Mental Health/Learning Difficulties
4. Dietary counseling
5. Acne
6. Medical refills/med checks (ADHD, acne, asthma)
7. Laboratory results/counseling
8. Minor colds and some rashes, such as eczema
9. Brief vomiting and/or diarrhea symptoms
10. Constipation management
11. ANY OTHER parental concerns/counseling

Note: Telemedicine is a billable service subject to co-pays and/or deductibles due at time of service.

Please be aware that Surf City Pediatrics, as well the American Academy of Pediatrics, strongly recommends that ALL CHILDREN CONTINUE THEIR WELL-CHILD PHYSICALS AND NOT HAVE THEIR VACCINATIONS DELAYED. This is especially true for infants and toddlers. To remind everyone, we are conducting well-child check-ups and non-contagious conditions (such as injuries, rechecks, behavior consults) in the mornings, and sick urgent appointments in the afternoon.

Please call our office for any questions you may have about using Telemedicine or any other medical concerns you may have about your child. You can reach us at (714) 842-0444. Thank you!
