April 30th

Thank you for your comments.
The website www.noevalleypediatrics.com is up and running, although it is still a work in progress
I am so glad that people find the blog useful. At some point the blog will be easily accessed through the website as well.
Regarding appointments online...that isn't going to happen anytime soon.
It is such a delicate balance here, making sure that people can get routine physical exams done in a timely manner, while leaving enough open spots for acute care needs. We also end up needing to fit in last minute newborns and emergencies. On very busy days, we need to really use our triage skills to make sure that the few existing appointments go to those who really need them.

We are still seeing a tummy bug making the rounds. It has been lasting only a day or two. It has started with low grade fever and some vomiting and then moves into some diarrhea.
We have seen a handful of truly miserable children with high fevers and low energy.
So far this is the second day that I am seeing this, so I don't know how long it will be hanging around.
We have lots of mild colds and coughs that are lingering for WEEKS.
For some odd reason I have also had several sore penis complaints this week as well!!
Enjoy the weekend!
