• Medical Weight Loss
  Many parents want to know what kind of experience they and their children will have at the doctor’s office.  They want to know how often they will need to come in, who they will encounter along the way, how long their visits will be, etc.  At Asheville Pediatrics we strive to make every encounter (from website to phone calls to the actual office visit) as pleasant as possible.  We follow American Academy of Pediatric guidelines regarding routine care visits and vaccine administration.  As the AAP states “Vaccines been part of the fabric of our society for decades and are the most significant medical innovation of our time.”  As such, we do not accept new families who choose not to vaccinate.  We typically see children for well-child check-ups a few times in the first two weeks of life, then again at ages two, four, six, nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen, and twenty-four months, and yearly after that up until age twenty-one years.  We allot fifteen minutes per visit for the majority of acute-care/sick visits and well child visits up through elementary school.  We allot fifteen to thirty minutes for our asthma, ADHD, and weight management visits in addition to our teenage well visits.  All routine visits will be scheduled with your regular doctor; acute-care/sick visits will be scheduled for the first mutually acceptable appointment time, with whichever physician is available.  Please call 828-254-5326 then press 2 to schedule a routine appointment; or press 1 to schedule a same day sick visit.
