Sick Visits and Chronic Condition Management

Having a sick child can be stressful! We offer same-day visits for acute illnesses and injuries. Our on-site laboratory, x-ray and rapid testing for COVID, strep throat and other illnesses means fast and reliable results.

Kids are natural explorers! Sometimes this results in cuts, breaks, infections and things where they don't belong. We can suture, splint, staple, and glue as needed and are skilled in removing little things from noses, ears and anywhere else they get stuck. We also freeze warts and drain abscesses.

Check out the pediatric symptom checker created by the experts at the American Academy of Pediatrics.

We especially value partnering with families in caring for kids with chronic health and developmental conditions.

Worried about developmental delay? Caring for a child with complex medical needs? Our pediatric providers and staff help with evaluation, management, specialty referrals and the ongoing needs of children with longer term medical, developmental or emotional concerns. These include asthma, autism, genetic differences, congenital heart disease, allergies, ADHD, arthritis and diabetes, to name a few. 

Our in-house lab and radiology services ensure accurate and timely results for all screening, diagnostic and treatment-related laboratory tests and imaging.

Spirometry is available for children 5 and up.

Medical Park is open 7:30 to 6 PM Monday through Friday and Saturday 9-2 on a walk-in basis. When the clinic is not open, you have three options for medical advice.

• Advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics parent site is always available by visiting healthychildren.org  and the symptom checker for advice on common concerns.
• Non-urgent concerns: please call 279-8486 and leave a message for our pediatric nurse to call you back when our office opens.
• Wondering if you need to seek medical care immediately?
  • A pediatric triage nurse is available through our main number (907-279-8486) when the office is closed. This service provides home-care advice for acute illness and helps parents determine if and how soon your child needs professional care.

  • Ultimately If you have an emergent concern and are not able to reach a nurse, please head to the emergency room.
