5/6/26 - This morning we experienced some technical issues at the office, which caused some telephone issues and around 10:00, we had to evacuate the office. All issues have now been resolved and the office is back to normal. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused. If you missed an appointment, or had a call that did not go through, please call our office at 518-273-3732.

Effective immediately, in order to be compliant with HIPAA and to protect the privacy of our patients, we are deactivating all patient portals for patients that have turned 18 years old.
If the patient would like to re-activate their patient portal under their own email address, we will need to hear directly from the patient.

4/10/26 2:45PM - We have temporarily lost power in the office. If you are trying to call, our phones are not working as they are VOIP, but using our cell phones as a hotspot, we do have our EMR running and can take messages through your patient portal. If you are having an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest ER or Urgent Care.
We are still seeing patients today until closing time.
4:00PM - Our power, phones, and internet are back on and working.

We are making changes to the check-in process for our office.
When you arrive for your appointment, please come directly to our window.
There are new forms, but you will only need to complete them for well-child visits, or every 6 months.
We are strongly encouraging everyone to activate their patient portal, as we are trying to have the forms completed by you, online, before you even arrive to your appointment.
If you need assistance with the patient portal, we are very happy to help you with your log-in and will be able to provide a tablet to use in the office, so that you can log-in and complete the forms online, which will put the completed information directly into the patient chart.
If you have any questions about these changes, or if you need your patient portal activation code or log-in name, please call us at 518-273-3732.

Please know that we are entering the busiest time of year for our office. We are currently scheduling well-child visits in September and have very few available time slots for well-child visits in August, keeping in mind that we reserve time for same day sick visits and follow-up visits.
If your child needs a physical for school, sports, work, travel, etc... there is a very good chance that their most recent physical is still valid for completing paperwork, as they are valid for one year. However, please do not wait until the last minute to request the paperwork. We ask for at least 24-48 business hours for any paperwork requests.
If the patient does, in fact, require a well-child physical appointment, please call us as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate the request.
