Appointments, Sick Visits and Telemedicine
Appointments are booked by phone; this is not a walk-in clinic. Sick children are scheduled for the same or next business day, telemedicine is available during office hours, and after-hours phone assistance covers evenings and weekends.
Yes, the practice is accepting new patients at all three offices. Call the location nearest you: Miami (305) 758-0591, North Miami Beach (305) 652-6095, Plantation (954) 880-8399. Complete the new patient forms in advance to shorten the first visit.
Yes, an appointment is needed to see a pediatrician here. This is a pediatric primary care practice rather than a walk-in clinic, so appointments are booked by phone. Sick children are given the next available appointment, usually the same or next business day.
Sick children are scheduled promptly, normally for the same or next business day. Call as early in the morning as you can, since same-day slots are limited.
After-hours phone assistance is available outside office hours. For non-emergency illness at night or on a weekend, a pediatric urgent care centre is the practical option; for trouble breathing, a seizure, a serious injury or a fever in a baby under two months old, call 911 or go to a pediatric emergency room.
Appointments for sick children are scheduled promptly, normally for the next available business day and often the same day if you call in the morning. Call the office nearest you as early as possible — same-day slots are limited and go quickly.
Yes, telemedicine visits are offered. Pediatric telehealth video visits run during office hours for rashes, pink eye, cold symptoms, allergies, medication follow-ups and behaviour check-ins. They bill to insurance or Medicaid like an office visit — no subscription, no membership fee. Physicals cannot be done by video.
Yes, Saturday appointments are available — at the Miami pediatric clinic near me only, the Northside office at 7900 NW 27th Ave, Suite 50, Saturday 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. North Miami Beach and Plantation are weekdays only.
Your First Visit and Transferring Records
Your insurance card, photo identification, your child's immunization record, records from a previous pediatrician if you have them, a list of current medications, any school or camp forms needing signature, and your questions written down.
Completing the new patient forms beforehand shortens the appointment. Here is what to expect at a first pediatric visit.
Sign a records release at your first visit and the office requests the file from your previous pediatrician. Bring whatever you already have, especially the immunization record, so nothing is delayed while the transfer is processed.
From newborn and infant care through adolescence and into young adulthood. The Bright Futures/American Academy of Pediatrics periodicity schedule runs from birth through age 21, with annual visits from age three onward.
Yes, a teenager should have a physical every year. Annual visits continue through adolescence, covering growth, blood pressure, scoliosis screening, mood and sleep, immunizations, and a confidential conversation. See the annual well-child physical exam, and note that Florida school physicals and FHSAA sports physicals for student athletes can be done at the same appointment.
Your Care Team, Prescriptions and Referrals
The care team includes physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. You can request a specific clinician, doctors return calls before the end of the office day, and staff arrange specialist referrals so reports come back to your pediatrician.
Yes, you can request a specific clinician when booking. Continuity with one clinician is the core of the NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home model this practice follows.
Yes, the offices have nurse practitioners. The care team at Rozalyn H. Paschal M.D. P.A. Pediatrics includes physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants across the three offices, led by Dr. Rozalyn Paschal-Thomas, MD.
Calls are returned by the doctors before the end of the office day.
Submit a refill request to the office. The clinician reviews the chart and issues the refill as appropriate, and may ask your child to be seen first if the medication needs review. You will be told when it is ready.
Staff arrange the referral and help set up the appointment. Under the medical home model the specialist's report comes back to your pediatrician, so nothing gets lost between offices. School-age children can also be reached through the Hazel Health partnership connecting students to primary care. Common referrals include pediatric pulmonology for difficult asthma and developmental-behavioural pediatrics — see childhood immunizations and other pediatric services.
