/in /by

As pediatricians and parents, we know that having 24/7 access to health care advice is very important. At Renton Pediatrics, your child’s health is our top priority. It is important to us that our families are able to access medical care and advice 24 hours a day.

Our office hours are:

Monday-Friday 8:30am-5:00pm

Saturday 9:00am-1:00pm

Sunday 10:00am-12:00pm

Call our office at 425-271-5437 to schedule a same day illness appointment with your provider during these hours.

After hours is defined as:

Monday-Friday after 5pm

Saturday after 1pm

Sunday after 12pm

For general inquiries after hours:

 

  • Use Symptom Checker to decide what care is needed and how to get speedy relief from common illnesses or injuries that you can manage on your own.
  • Refer to the Medication Dosages Tables
  • Call a Consulting Nurse:
    Most insurance companies offer FREE after-hours nurse consultation telephone numbers. Look for the contact numbers listed on your insurance card. (Please verify the after-hours nurse consultation service on your insurance card; not all groups participate in this benefit.) For your convenience, we have listed a few of these numbers below:

If your insurance company does not provide a consulting nurse service, Renton Pediatric Associates offers  an after hours, telephone triage consultation service. This service puts you in touch with a pediatric-trained, triage nurse after the clinic is closed.  If you feel you cannot wait for the office to open please call our main number and ask to speak with a triage nurse.  Note:  Our clinic is charged a fee for each call placed to this nurse triage service. Therefore, to offset this expense we charge our families $20.00 per call  which is part of this fee. This fee will not be billed to your insurance. This new policy for our practice will go into effect 1/1/2023.
