Today was incredibly busy, even with two nurses manning the phones for much of the day, some of the non urgent calls did not get returned today. We really do attempt to return all calls same day, so my apologies to anyone who was awaiting a call back.
Please make sure you let the office know if you are concerned about an issue and we will be sure to get back to you as quickly as we can. If this is a sign of the upcoming winter, yikes.
The first part of my morning today was tending to orthopedic emergencies. My poor Noe Valley Pediatrics patients had a tough weekend with falls and minor accidents.
We also have a lot of kids with fevers and very chesty coughs.
My weekly email this Friday was about this season's Flu vaccine.

We have gotten our first shipment of the pediatric vaccine ( for kids 3 and younger) We are expecting the vaccine for older kids to get in later this week. I expect the Flu mist to be here in another week or so.
Yes it is nice to get an early start on your protection, but typically the Flu doesn't make an appearance until December or January, so you do have some time.
We will start our flu shot clinics the Wednesday after Labor day.
We hold these Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10-11:30 am and 2-4 pm.
In order to manage the crowds and the availability of my ably Medical Assistants, we will accept a limited number of patients into each of these windows..Call in the morning to get onto the morning or afternoon list.
We will be doing Saturday morning Flu shot clinics again.
The first of these will be September 27th...not quite sure what times but I will update that when we get closer..
Any patients out there with peanut allergies? Stanford Allergy center is seeking volunteers between 7-55 years
