The Healow app allows contactless check-in from your car. Your child’s health is our number one priority, that’s why we designed our office to have separate well and sick areas, including waiting rooms, exam rooms, and restrooms to ensure your health and safety at all times. We follow the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations for Preventative Pediatric Healthcare.
