Frequently Asked Questions

While we recommend scheduling an appointment, we also accept walk-ins! For same-day appointments, give us a call to check availability.

We accept Medicaid, ArKids 1st, and most private insurance plans. If you’re unsure whether we accept your insurance, feel free to give us a call! Our team will help determine your coverage.

We recommend regular checkups to monitor your child’s growth and development. The frequency depends on your child’s age, but generally, infants should be seen more frequently, and older children should have annual checkups.

Vaccination requirements vary by age and school district. We’ll help you stay up to date on the vaccines your child needs to stay healthy and meet school requirements!

Make sure to bring any forms your school or sports league requires, and talk to your child about the exam so they know what to expect. Our friendly doctors will make the process quick and comfortable.
