A precious lovely baby,
sweet and new…
will bring a lifetime full of pleasure…
and happiness to you.

Congratulations!

Becoming a parent is one of the most exciting experiences in your life. Choosing a pediatrician is an important decision and we want you to feel at ease with the care you and your child will receive at the Chicago Pediatric Clinic.

You are welcome to meet our physicians and tour our office during your prenatal visit during which you will be able to ask questions and acquire information.

We are currently affiliated with the following hospitals:

  • Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center
  • Northwestern Memorial Hospital
  • Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago

If your newborn is delivered at one of these hospitals, we will be able to see you and your baby in the hospital. If you deliver at another hospital, your baby will be cared for by another pediatrician while in the hospital and you can follow up with us upon discharge.

As a courtesy to our expecting parents, we have attached the following link for infant care that will hopefully make the process of caring for your newborn a little less stressful.

Forms and Policies

The Chicago Pediatric Clinic is an independent, privately owned and operated pediatrics group with its main office situated in Lakeview.

On this page we provide information about our general office policies and some links for forms that you can print out and complete, prior to your scheduled appointment, to save time.

Print out the forms below and bring them with you to your child’s appointment.

Appointments: We ask that you arrive at your appointment time or earlier if needed, to update any insurance information. Each patient is scheduled and not double-booked. We do not accept walk-ins.

If you arrive late or past 20 minutes after your scheduled appointment time, you may have to be rescheduled for a later date or your appointment time may be shortened.

We understand that sometimes emergencies may arise. If you are unable to make your appointment time or need to reschedule, please call us as soon as possible, so we may give this opening to a child who is ill. However, if you do not call and do not come to the appointment, we may charge you a $30.00 cancellation fee. We respect your time and expect the same from our parents. The no-show charge will be waived if you cancel the appointment with more than 24 business hours notice prior to the scheduled appointment time. Please be advised that your insurance will not cover this no-show fee.

In order to prevent the spread of illnesses, we recommend that only the patient be brought to the clinic with the parent(s) or guardian. Parents will be responsible for their children’s behavior and conduct while in the clinic.

Telephone Calls: During working hours, all non-urgent telephone calls will be returned at the end of the office day or between patient visits. An urgent call will be treated with great seriousness and every attempt will be made to return the call as soon as possible.

After hours and weekend phone calls will be answered promptly by the pediatrician on-call. Please follow the instructions given on the clinic answering service.

Please be aware that there may be a charge for any after hour/weekend calls.

If for some reason you do not receive a return call after two calls, assume that the doctor’s telephone system is not functioning properly and take your child to the nearest hospital.

Back to top

Laboratory: Please provide the medical receptionist, assistant or doctor with the name of the laboratory to where we may send any of your child’s blood work or tests. Insurance carriers may request that blood work/tests be sent to a particular laboratory. We send all specimens to Quest Laboratories unless you indicate otherwise. You are responsible for notifying the clinic staff if tests must be sent to a different laboratory, such as ACL or LabCorp labs. We will not be responsible for any bill if you have a test at the wrong laboratory location and/or unauthorized service.

Back to top

Referrals: If you require a referral for a service at another facility, please allow at least one week for our medical assistants to complete the necessary paperwork and/or input the information into the computer. It may take several days for us to get an approval from your insurance for the service. Please do not go to see a specialist unless you have your referral in hand. If the parent/guardian chooses to take the patient to undergo any service without a valid referral, the parent/guardian is financially responsible for the full charges.

Back to top

Camp/School/Sport Forms, other: School, daycare, camp and other forms such as FMLA forms take time to review and complete. Please allow at least 2 weeks to provide the requested information. These forms incur a $10.00 fee. If you require these forms to be filled out within 48 hours, there will be an additional $10.00 fee. Forms will be completed for patients who have been evaluated in the clinic within the past 12 months. Forms will be held at the clinic for parents to pick up. Because of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) regulations, forms will be released to parents/guardians only. We are prohibited from faxing or mailing medical information to non-medical facilities. Forms are completed for those patients whose accounts are in good standing.

Back to top

Prescription Refills: We ask for at least 24 hours notice for prescription refills to make sure that we can review your child’s chart and assure we are offering the best care for any ongoing issues. Please contact your pharmacy and request that they fax your doctor a written request for the refill. Our fax telephone number is 773-477-1510. There is no fee for prescription refills.

Well Child Check Ups/Physicals

Well child visits are a time to not only see how your child is growing and to keep current with immunizations, but it also gives parents the chance to raise questions and concerns about their child’s development, behavior, and general well-being — questions that are often difficult to discuss during sick visits.

Preventive care is a crucial part of your child’s total health care and these visits are important even when your child is healthy. These appointments are scheduled to allow the physician additional time to assess and discuss your child’s health and to address your concerns and answer any questions you may have.

Well visits can be made with any physician in the practice. The physicians share all of the patients. Therefore, you can choose which doctor your child sees for each well visit. In general, the further in advance you call, the more likely you are to get an appointment with the doctor of your choice. We have evening appointments available for well exams during the weekdays.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the following immunization schedule and well child checkups as outlined in the schedule below:

Sick Visits

P-94Sick Visits are for children with acute illnesses that have arisen within 24-48 hours. Sick hours are not to be used for chronic illnesses, complicated problems, psychological conditions, routine exams or blood work. These conditions are best treated by scheduling an appointment.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we ask all patients over 2 years old and their guardians to wear a mask while visiting the clinic. If you are concerned your child was exposed to or has symptoms of COVID-19, we are here to help. The clinic provides several ways for patients and families to access the care they need whether it is online or in-person.
