Pediatric Clinic | Evans

Pediatric care for Evans families, from a family medicine practice

Evans families have used NOCO Healthcare as their pediatric clinic for years, mostly because we are about 10 minutes away and we answer the phone. We are a family medicine practice. Our nurse practitioner cares for newborns, school-age kids, and teenagers alongside their parents, which means well-child visits, sick visits, immunizations, and sports physicals all happen in the same familiar office with the same provider.

Same-day sick visits are usually available. Call and we will find a time.

What we do for children, and what we are honest about

Our nurse practitioner is a family medicine provider, which means she is trained and certified to care for patients from birth through old age. We are not a pediatric specialty practice, and if your child ever needs one, we will say so and make the referral. What we are is a small, independent clinic where a Evans family can get the everyday pediatric care they need from someone who knows the whole family. Parents who want to understand the distinction can read our plain-language comparison of pediatricians and family practice.

Newborn and infant care starts with a first visit that measures, examines, and answers questions. Well-child checks follow the usual schedule. Immunizations follow the CDC schedule. Sick visits for fevers, ear infections, strep, rashes, pink eye, coughs, and stomach bugs are seen the same day or the next day. Sports and school physicals are quick and easy to book.

For older kids and teens, we manage asthma, allergies, acne, injuries, and the growing-up questions that deserve a calm, private conversation. Everything lives in one chart, and the provider is the same at every visit.

When your child wakes up sick

Call us first. We hold same-day appointments for exactly this, and a person answers the phone. Fevers, ear infections, strep, pink eye, croup, rashes, stomach bugs, and minor injuries are the bread and butter of a family practice, and we see Evans kids for them all week long. If a video visit will do the job, we will offer one so you can skip the drive. If the child needs to be examined, we will get you in.

We are not an emergency room. Trouble breathing, a child who cannot be woken normally, a serious injury, or a fever in a very young infant are reasons to go to the emergency department immediately. Call us afterward so we can follow up and keep your child’s chart current.

Well-child visits, immunizations, and physicals

Well visits are where we catch things early and where parents get to ask the questions that pile up between appointments. We follow the standard well-child schedule from newborn through adolescence and the CDC immunization schedule for vaccines. Records are kept in your child’s chart and can be printed for school or daycare whenever you need them.

School and sports physicals are quick to schedule. If your child plays for a Evans school or club team, call before the season starts and we will get the form done. Our sports physical page has details.

Cost and coverage for Evans families

Most major plans, Medicare, and Medicaid are accepted. Well-child visits and vaccines are typically covered in full as preventive care. If you are paying out of pocket, we will quote a self-pay rate on the phone. Nobody at NOCO has ever been surprised by a bill they were not warned about, and we intend to keep it that way.

Why Evans families stay with NOCO as their kids grow

Kids who come to us as infants often end up as teenagers who still see the same provider, and then as adults with their own kids. That continuity is what a family practice is for. Our Evans primary care and family medicine pages cover the grown-ups, and urgent care for Evans covers the days somebody needs to be seen now.
