Happy New Year!

As Waterville Pediatrics welcomes in 2024 we have had to make some changes to our practice

Due to a provider shortage the following changes will take place starting January 1st.

Our new phone hours will be 7am-4pm Monday through Friday.

We will now be open Saturdays by appointment only. You can call us any Saturday morning at 8am and schedule an appointment for that same day. Saturdays in the winter are for urgent needs only. Ear pain, rash, sore throat, fever, conjunctivitis, or cough.

We will now be closed on Sundays.

After hours calls are for your most urgent questions only.

We are unable to fill prescriptions or schedule appointments after hours, please call on the next business day for those needs.

Don’t forget about the symptom checker under the resources tab that can answer your most common questions.

Walk in care is 7am-11am Monday through Friday for urgent needs only. Ear pain, rash, sore throat, conjunctivitis or cough. If walk in care fills up before 11, we will send out a message via text to let our patients know. We can typically see 13-15 patients in that time.

Walk-in Clinic Hours are Monday thru Friday 7 am to 11 am.

How to know when to Walk In or Make an Appointment

Your child’s provider can treat both chronic and acute illnesses. If your child has a chronic condition, your provider may refer them to a specialist. The provider will still be an integral part of your child’s care team and work with specialists if needed. Chronic conditions are not usually cured, they are only managed or controlled. Treatment plans for chronic conditions may include lifestyle changes, medication, surgery, or physical and occupational therapies.

Some examples of chronic illnesses in children are:

  • Motor vehicle accident/trauma injuries
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Migraines
  • Allergies & Asthma
  • Mental health concerns

Acute illnesses require different levels of care based on severity. For common childhood illnesses, your child will probably only need to visit the pediatrician or nurse practitioner for treatment. If your child’s illness becomes more serious, you may need to seek emergency care, or the provider will admit them to the hospital. Unlike chronic conditions, acute illnesses can be resolved or cured.

Examples of acute illnesses which would be appropriate for Walk-In Care are:

  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Ear pain/infections
  • Strep throat
  • Nausea/Vomiting/Diarrhea

Note: During Walk-In time we reserve the right to assess and request that you schedule an appointment that will serve your child’s symptoms more appropriately.

At Waterville Pediatrics, we provide comprehensive healthcare to children from birth to eighteen years of age. This includes the treatment of acute illness and can help manage chronic illnesses. We recommend parents call early in the day to schedule a same-day appointment. To talk to our team about a plan of care for your child, call our office at 207-873-KIDS (5437).
