Walk-in Hours
All three locations, including our Haverhill office and both upper and lower levels in Newburyport, offer sick call from 8am - 9am Monday through Friday. We ask that you please attend sick call in the office where you see your primary care provider. This helps our Haverhill Pediatrics Physicians provide continuity of care.
Our location on the Lower Level of our Newburyport office offers sick visit appointments on weekends and holidays from 8am - 9am.
No appointment is necessary during the morning sick call hour. This time, however, is reserved for your child’s new or sudden illness and is not intended for visits that would otherwise benefit from a longer scheduled appointment.
For chronic issues or issues needing a longer appointment, we encourage patients to make an appointment during regular office hours so your child can see their regular provider whenever possible. This will also reduce your wait time and help reserve sick call for urgent visits only.
Frequently Asked Questions
In the event of a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 for emergency medical services immediately. DO NOT WAIT! Inform the emergency room staff that you are a patient of Children’s Health Care and they will contact us.

Before calling the on-call provider, please take time to review "Is My Child Sick", as well as the link to medication doses, and our medical library as often these can answer most questions. Please see our blog post on fevers for more information on fever.

If one of our doctors suggests a specialist evaluation or diagnostic testing that requires a referral, we will make every effort to provide this for you as soon as possible. Some referrals require insurance preauthorization and cannot be processed immediately. Insurance guidelines prohibit us from backdating referrals. We require three business days for the processing of routine referrals.
Doctors at Children’s Health Care have a hospital affiliation with Anna Jaques Hospital.
