Pediatric Services in Miami: Sick Visits, Vaccines and Physicals

No. Rozalyn H. Paschal M.D. P.A. Pediatrics is a pediatric primary care practice. Appointments are scheduled, including same-day sick visits for established patients who call in the morning. There are no walk-in visits and the offices are not open overnight or on Sundays. For urgent care outside office hours, use a pediatric urgent care centre.

Established patients who call in the morning can usually be seen the same day during office hours. Same-day slots are limited, so call early. Fevers, ear pain, sore throats, rashes, stomach upset and asthma flare-ups are all routine sick visits. If your usual office is full, ask about the other two — all three share one chart. When an in-person slot is not available, pediatric telemedicine is often available the same day.

General pediatrics: newborn pediatrician care, well-child visits and physical exams, childhood immunizations, school physicals near me, sports physicals near me, same-day sick visits, pediatric telemedicine, developmental screening, and ongoing management of asthma, allergies, eczema and ADHD. Birth through age 21, at three offices.

Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, polio, measles, mumps and rubella, hepatitis B and varicella for school entry, with additional doses before seventh grade. These are recorded on Florida form DH 680. Requirements are set by the state and can change — confirm with your school or county health department.

DH 680 is the Florida Certification of Immunization — the record of which vaccines your child has received. DH 3040 is the school-entry health examination, the physical itself. Most Florida schools require both. They are produced by different parts of the same visit, so bring your school's packet and both can be completed before you leave. See school physicals near me.

Often yes, if the schedule allows and the child is well. Call ahead so staff can check the record and confirm which doses are due. Everything given is recorded in Florida SHOTS.

A missed schedule is common after a move, a change of insurance, or a gap in care, and it is fixable. Catch-up schedules compress the remaining doses safely rather than starting over. Bring whatever immunization record you have, even a partial one from another state or country, and staff will work out what is due.

Yes, as part of ongoing primary care: trigger identification, controller and rescue inhalers, inhaler and spacer technique, a school asthma action plan, and control reviewed at each visit rather than only during a flare-up. Severe or difficult asthma is referred to pediatric pulmonology or allergy.

Yes. Evaluation uses standardised parent and teacher rating scales plus a history to rule out other explanations such as hearing problems, poor sleep or anxiety. Where medication is appropriate it starts low and is reviewed regularly. Complex cases go to developmental-behavioural pediatrics or child psychiatry.

A structured check of language, motor skills, social behaviour and problem solving against age expectations, using validated questionnaires at well-child visits and emphasised at 9, 18 and 30 months. A concern leads to Florida Early Steps under age three, or the school district after. See 2-year-old milestones and red flags.

No. Physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy are not provided here. The pediatrician evaluates the concern, orders what is needed, and refers to a therapy provider. For children under three, referral goes to Florida Early Steps; for older children, to the school district or an outpatient therapy service. The therapist's reports return to the chart under the Patient-Centered Medical Home model.

Yes — pediatricians near me that accept Medicaid at all three offices, plus pediatricians near me that accept Aetna, Cigna and Blue Cross, cash, debit and credit card. No one is denied access to services due to inability to pay. See also Medicaid pediatric care in Miami, North Miami Beach and Plantation.

Call the office nearest you and complete the new patient forms in advance. Bring your insurance card, immunization record and any records from a previous pediatrician. Here is what to expect at a baby's first pediatrician visit. Feeding questions, from pediatrician recommended baby formula guidance onward, are welcome at any visit.
