Question 5

What is a Comprehensive Questionnaire and when would I need to complete one?

Accepted Answer

You DO NOT need to complete this questionairre unless specifically instructed to do so.  This is only used when scheduling comprehensive appointments.  
It is a form created by our practice to help parents gather their thoughts about their child's condition. This form helps answer questions the parent may not even see as relevant to their child's condition and may never have considered unless asked. You will not be able to schedule a comprehensive appointment until you have completed this questionnaire.  The healthcare provider needs this information to make the best use of your appointment time.

Question 7

Should I make an appointment for my child?

Accepted Answer

YOUR CHILD SHOULD BE SEEN IMMEDIATELY in the office or at an after-hours urgent care facility if he/she has any of the following concerns:
persistent breathing problems lasting longer than a 5-10 minute period of time 
sudden onset of loud or noisy breathing (possibly due to swallowing an object) or sounds such as grunting or fast breathing not coupled with a fever
red polka dot rashes 
confused or disoriented state associated with times when your child is normally awake or alert, or if your child is sleeping and you are concerned that you cannot arouse him/her easily 
concerns for hydration due to vomiting and diarrhea occurring at the same time or dry heaving due to repetitive vomiting 
Please call ahead and state exactly what is occurring before simply showing up in our office, so we may prepare for your arrival. If there are instances not listed above, please make an appointment if you feel your child needs to be seen.

Question 8

Why can’t I book my child's appointment online?

Accepted Answer

At Natural Choice Pediatrics, we do not book appointments online. However, you can request an appointment via the Patient Portal and await a call back from our appointment staff to schedule an appointment.  In our unique practice, our goal is to hone in on the purpose for your visit. We do this in a variety of ways, most of which require specific questions posed to our parents during the booking process.  Without that personal interaction, your child may not be booked in the proper time slot needed for the appointment he/she requires.  Our visits vary depending on your child’s specific needs.  A simple wellness issue requires a much shorter appointment than a more complex issue such as ADHD, autism, eczema and sleeping problems.  Our main priority is to match your child with the best provider and most appropriate care to meet his/her needs.  We strongly believe we cannot accomplish this without personal interaction between our appointment staff and our parents.

Question 9

Why am I seeing a nurse practitioner and not a physician?

Accepted Answer

After first completing a nursing degree, Nurse Practitioners then go through an extensive clinical program.  He or she must complete a master’s or doctoral degree program.  Additionally, Nurse Practitioners undergo rigorous national certification, routine peer review, clinical outcome evaluations and adhere to a code for ethical practices. 
Nurse Practitioners perform comprehensive and focused physical examinations and diagnose and treat common acute illnesses and injuries such as coughs and colds, gastrointestinal complaints, endocrine-related matters and much more.  They also provide immunizations, manage allergies and dermatology concerns, diabetes, depression, and other chronic health problems, order and interpret diagnostic tests such as x-rays and EKGs, as well as laboratory tests, prescribe medications (including controlled substances) and therapies, perform procedures, and educate and counsel patients and their families regarding healthy lifestyles and health care options.  
Our Nurse Practitioners at Natural Choice Pediatrics have experience ranging from 2-15 years beyond their initial training and all have extensive experience and training in integrative healthcare. In the state of Texas, the Texas Board of Nurse Examiners allows Nurse Practitioners to own and operate their own practices.
Research has shown that many parents prefer Nurse Practitioners to Physicians for many reasons.  Some of which include: NPs spend more time with patients, listen more closely, provide more feedback and show more respect for patients' opinions.  We strive to accomplish these goals every time we see your child.

Question 10

Do you see teenagers or young adults in your practice?

Accepted Answer

At Natural Choice Pediatrics, we will see your child through 18 years of age. We will also transfer the care of a child to an adult provider of your choosing.

Question 11

Do you accept walk-in appointments?

Accepted Answer

Walk-in appointments are not accepted, but same day appointments are available depending on the needs of your child.  This policy is in place because we strive to meet the individual needs of your child through our appointment scheduling process.  A simple appointment for an ear infection varies greatly from a first time visit for a child with eczema.  Our appointment times vary depending on the specific needs of our patients.  Because of this, we would not be able to fully meet your child’s needs, match him/her to the best appointment time and place him/her with the best possible provider in a walk-in clinic setting.  Our number one priority will always be providing your child with the individualized care he/she needs.
