Join Our Practice

To do this successfully, we must be able to review all of your medical records from all providers that you have seen. It is our policy to receive your previous medical records before we can assume care and schedule an appointment.

For Newborns

Bringing a newborn to a new pediatric practice can be a prudent decision to ensure comprehensive care and support for your child's lifelong health. It allows for establishing a rapport with the healthcare providers early on, fostering a sense of familiarity and trust crucial for ongoing care. 

Newborns are seen within 1-3 days upon discharge.  All babies under 4 months of age are seen in the morning sessions.

If for any reason your baby had to stay in the NICU, please email us a copy of the medical records upon discharge so we can review your child's need prior to your appointment.  Email to: office@pcpmds.net

For New Families Transferring To Us

When transferring a child to a new pediatric practice, it's essential to gather and organize all medical records, including vaccination records and any relevant test results. Communicate with both the current and new pediatric practices to ensure a smooth transition of care, providing necessary information about the child's medical history and ongoing treatments. Records may be faxed to: (954) 974-8921 or emailed to: office@pcpmds.net

Once the records are received, we will review them to determine if they are complete or sufficient for us to begin caring for your children. Unfortunately, we cannot treat or provide any care for your children until that time.

Please be aware that under federal (HIPAA) and state laws, your previous medical provider may charge a "reasonable, cost-based fee" to copy your children's medical records. This cost is your responsibility. This fee may be waived if records are sent directly to our office.

If you have not already done so, please sign a release of records form and provide it to your children's previous medical provider.
