We are dedicated to providing a welcoming, supportive environment and look forward to establishing a mutually rewarding partnership with your family.

Medical Home
We work hard to provide comprehensive medical care and serve as your medical home. To that end, we urge you to contact our office first before seeking specialty care or heading to another provider for urgent care. We want to be involved in either providing care in our office where appropriate or referring you to the most appropriate specialist and helping coordinate your care.
Whenever you do see a specialist, we ask that you request a report be sent directly to our office so we may stay informed and have the most up-to-date information in your child’s medical record.
To serve you and your child best, we also require that all patients to be up to date on well exams.

We make every effort to meet the needs of our patients, offering both routine well child visits and sick child visits. We are open Monday-Friday 8:30-4:30pm.
Scheduled Appointments
For sick visits, please contact our office directly by portal to self schedule or call our office.
For well-child visits, we will schedule your child's next well appointment at the time of the visit. Please call our office if you need to reschedule.
Timeliness & Missed Appointments
We value everyone's time equally. Please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment.
While we understand that delays can happen, we may ask late arrivals to reschedule.

After Hours
If you need urgent assistance after hours, you may call our office to request the on-call pediatrician to discuss your concern by phone. If you would like your child seen for a sick appointment after hours, please use our patient portal to review hours that are available.
For medical emergencies, please proceed to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
Antibiotics
We strive to avoid overusing antibiotics by educating families on their proper use and following evidence-based guidelines to ensure responsible prescribing. Many cases are viral and do not require antibiotic treatment. Instead, Dr. Frazee will review alternative approaches and the importance of allowing the body to heal naturally when appropriate.
Additionally, we do not routinely prescribe antibiotics over the phone, as we strongly believe it is not sound medical practice to do so without a proper assessment. Antibiotics are only prescribed when deemed necessary and appropriate after a thorough evaluation, prioritizing the well-being of our patients while avoiding the risks of antibiotic resistance and unnecessary side effects.
Technology
Our practice prides itself on efficiency through the use of technology. We strongly encourage all patients to use the patient portal, review our website, and effectively use automated reminders for appointments.
