Sick Visits – In most cases, GetzWell Pediatrics can accommodate same day appointments for urgent and sick visits. Should your child need assistance after hours or on the weekend, your Open Access membership gives you direct telephone access to one of our professionals. For an extra fee, non members may be accommodated for acute visits based on appointment availability at the time.
