You will receive a secure email in your inbox from Medeo Health. You will be asked to sign in to see the message. This is not spam.

Email to the Pediatricians listed here are for the following purposes only, please:

Issues related to prescribed medication that cannot wait for the next appointment, eg unexpected or severe side effects.
To answer a question or send a form that your MD has specifically asked from you (eg to send your child's weight, or a report the teacher wrote).
Something else in your judgement that needs quick attention from the doctor, when you have been unable to schedule an appointment (because of the doctor's lack of availability). If this is the case, please state the situation briefly.

Please do NOT email

To request prescription renewals. See below "Prescription Request".
To inform the physician about new concerns you may have about your child: these issues are best dealt in an appointment, even a phone appointment.
To describe in detail what you would like to convey: please save this for your appointment when a back and forth discussion can take place. Long emails will not be ready by the MD.
