Summertime is here! It’s time for picnics, days at the beach, cooling off in the swimming pool, and enjoying time with your family and friends.
Unfortunately, it can also be the time of summer accidents. The euphoria of free time in the summer can result in slip and fall accidents around the pool, bicycling calamities, and illness caused by dehydration from not drinking enough water during playtime.
We hope that your child remains safe and healthy throughout the summer, but rest assured if your child should suffer a mishap, Dr. Michele Johnson-Towson and her staff at Pediatric Place of Tampa are available to help you. She and her team are dedicated to keeping patients both healthy and educated on changes in children’s health care. They take the time to answer any questions parents may have. They treat your child’s overall health, including immunizations, allergies, asthma, and ADHD (Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder).
Same-week appointments are available at Pediatric Place of Tampa, and the practice accepts all insurances as well as self-pay patients. New patients are always welcome!
Pediatric Place of Tampa offers Urgent Care hours to accommodate sick children after work, school, and/or daycare. Urgent Care hours are available Monday – Friday until 7pm, and Saturday 8:00am until noon.
