Scheduling Your First Pediatric Appointment
Pediatric new patient appointments can generally be scheduled within a week of your phone call.

Call (775) 786-4673 and dial option 1 between 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, Monday–Friday, and ask to schedule a new pediatric patient appointment.
Establishing Care for an individual under the age of 18 is different than becoming a new patient as an adult.
An Intake & Eligibility Coordinator will take your information and schedule your child’s first appointment.
