Common Questions:
Seeing Medical Students or Residents:
Drs. Menard, Zelman and Cox are involved in teaching for the medical school. As such, they will often have a medical student with them. Students usually attend with the pediatrician, not alone. They will be introduced to you when you come, and mostly observe.
Q: The receptionist made my appointment with a resident. What does this mean?
These are already qualified physicians, getting extra training in Pediatrics. They may see you in the office themselves at times, and then review the case with Dr Menard or Dr Cox.
If you are uncomfortable with students and residents, you can always ask to see the pediatrician alone.
Contact our office if you still have a question regarding your child's referral to our office.
Please do not contact our office if you have not been referred! We cannot book appointments without a referral.
Q: What if I cannot make my appointment?
Q: Will there be toys in the office for my child?
In the office we have a small play area for children waiting for appointments. Because of the spread of infection, however, we try to limit what toys are set out. You should consider bringing your own toys or books.
Q: The school requested this appointment and want to attend. What do I do?
These are private appointments, and the information we discuss is completely confidential. We strongly recommend that families DO NOT BRING SCHOOL STAFF OR OTHER PARTIES, especially for a first visit. If you have follow up arranged you may consider inviting someone, but keep in mind we have a 2 adult policy for appointments.
Q: How to make appointments:
Please refer to the separate section on appointments. There is a detailed summary of how appointments are booked, and the different types of appointments.
Q: What if I cannot make my appointment?
Contact our office ASAP if you will not be able to attend an appointment. If an appointment is canceled on the same day or the day before, it is considered a "no-show". These are a major problem for the office, and you may not be able to rebook.
