Hillside Pediatrics is a collaborative group of pediatricians who each have an independent consulting practice. We provide an opinion and direction on specific medical problems that require specialized care, and want children and youth to thrive, grow and learn. Our specialists only see patients referred to them by a primary care doctor, midwife or nurse practitioner for advice on a specific problem. In order for us to assist any patient, BC Medical Services Plan requires that we have an active referral in the chart. If your pediatrician has been in regular planned contact with a patient, usually spaced by no more than 1 to 1.5 years, then a new referral may not needed. If the issue is new, or a longer period of time has passed, review with primary care first and an updated referral request will usually be required.
OUR POLICY ON DISRUPTIVE, THREATENING OR ABUSIVE LANGUAGE & BEHAVIOR
Questionnaires may be required prior to your appointment. The instructions will come to you via email and it is essential we have your email and your consent to communicate with you via email. You will receive a Consent to Electronic Communication form that you must fill out and submit prior to any appointments. This will give us your consent to use your email and cellphone for secure communication. If we cannot reach you via email, phone, or text two weeks before your scheduled appointment, we will have to cancel it.
SCREEN TIME AND SOCIAL MEDIA ARE A HUGE HEALTH THREAT TO BABIES, CHILDREN AND TEENS.
