Coordinated, Preventative Care

Kaplan Barron Pediatrics will take care of your child when he or she is sick and well, help you plan your child’s care and /or set goals for care, now and in the future, & talk with you about any testing or treatment that your child needs. Kaplan Barron Pediatric will work with you and other healthcare providers to coordinate care. We will ensure your child receives care that is evidence –based in order to assist your child in reaching their best possible health status.

We encourage you to contact us at any time you need medical advice. We have an answering service available after the office closes. The phone number is the same as our daytime phone number. Your call is screened by a registered pediatric nurse who will consult with the provider on call as needed. We emphasize a comprehensive, preventative approach to ensure healthy lives for our patients both physically and mentally. Kaplan Barron Pediatrics ensures you will be a partner in your child’s health care and will be involved in every decision regarding your child’s plan of care.

If you have a need to visit a hospital, emergency room, urgent care or specialty provider, please notify Kaplan Barron Pediatrics. Please bring information, including test results, about your child’s care to your visit so that we can incorporate the information into your child’s record and treatment plan. Sharing information about visits to other providers will allow us to coordinate care across sites and specialties.

Staying Connected: Patient Portal & Communication

Kaplan Barron Pediatrics has created a patient portal to help you manage your care in between visits to our office. We ask all patients to sign up for the portal on their first visit. The patient portal is featured on our website and provides a way for you to access your child’s medical information at all times. The patient portal allows you to view Clinical Summary containing information about your child’s visit each time your child has an office visit with KBP, view health records, i.e. growth charts, immunization records, lab results, prescriptions, view links and handouts, request well care appointments, request prescription refill, request camp / school forms, request specialty referrals, view reports, & send message to clinical staff.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends 13 well-child visits during the first three years of your child’s life. These are over and beyond any visits for illness. Well-child visits for your child are about prevention and promotion of healthy habits. During well-child visits vaccinations are given, routine screenings for vision, or hearing problems, anemia, autism and other issues.

We have separate “WELL” and “SICK” waiting areas. We would appreciate your consideration for others by taking your child to the appropriate area. If you have been waiting over 15 minutes, please check with the receptionist.
