Practice hours in both York and Wells are Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Patients are seen by appointment only. If you have an emergency after regular practice hours, call (207) 351-1710 or (207) 641-6555 to speak to our answering service, who will then page the provider on call.

Please note: Our phone systems are on auto attendant between 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. daily.

We are available every day for acute care “sick visits,” while preventive care visits should be scheduled six to eight weeks in advance. If you prefer a specific provider, please be sure to let us know so that we can accommodate you. Please keep in mind that acute care for the same day may require you to see whichever provider is available. Acute care visits will be scheduled on the same day. Problems that require IMMEDIATE attention are best addressed in an emergency room setting or at a York Hospital walk-in care location.

If your insurance requires you to receive a referral to see a specialist, you must allow us three (3) business days to complete the appropriate form(s) prior to obtaining service. Only emergency referrals will be completed on the same day. If requested, and approved by this practice, we will issue a retroactive referral, but there is no guarantee that it will be honored by your insurance company. Our placement of any referral does not guarantee payment from your insurance company; please be sure you understand how your insurance policy works. If you are unsure, contacting them directly is the way to be certain of their payment policy.

We do ask for 48 hours’ notice when calling to refill a prescription. In order to reduce your wait time, please contact your pharmacy to confirm if the prescription is ready to be picked up. All prescriptions that require a written prescription will only be refilled during office hours.

Medical records are a vital part of our ability to provide quality health care for you and your child. Please be sure you have requested your child’s medical records to be released to this office prior to your first visit here. If you are unable to have your child’s complete medical record transferred prior to your visit, please be sure you have his or her updated immunization record with you.

Our HIPAA policy reflects the federal guidelines established for the privacy of your health records. Pediatric Associates of York Hospital will not share any information from your child’s health records without your specific permission, with the exception of your child’s daycare, school, or other physician’s office. In these cases, we will forward immunization records, current physical examination dates, and any physician notes or labs that may directly pertain to your child’s referral to another provider by one of our practitioners, to assist in their treatment.
