Here at Universal Pediatrics we always have time to speak with you even after we close. We do not use a third party call service who does not know your child. You have direct access to someone who knows your child and you will hear a voice that you trust because your phone calls are forwarded directly to the doctor on call.

Our office hours are

Monday - Friday

from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm

You can call anytime after hours to speak with the doctor but if you are looking to be seen on the weekend you need to call before 10:00 am.
