Pediatrician on Demand (dba Ivy Pediatrics) was developed in September 2017 after we came to appreciate the growing difficulty parents have in getting timely appointments with their pediatrician. With physician offices open until 5 pm and rarely on weekends, most patients are forced to either wait several days for an appointment or incur the high cost of seeking help in the urgent care or emergency facility. Even when a timely appointment is given, parents need to take time off from work and sit for an hour or longer in a waiting room full of sick kids for conditions that can be safely and more efficiently managed via telemedicine.
From the comfort of your own home you now have the ability to discuss your child’s medical concerns without being rushed. We can send you medical literature on your child’s condition and when appropriate, a prescription can be electronically sent to the pharmacy of your choice. When needed, we can write an excuse note so that your child can recover faster.
Healthcare should be convenient. With Pediatrician On Demand, you can skip the waiting room and connect with a pediatric provider on your schedule!
