CHANGE IS COMING.........Please be aware our office will be closed from July 23rd thru August 5 for remodeling. Due to this closure we have arranged to be open on a few Saturdays in July to accommodate patients needing physicals prior to school starting. When we re-open on Aug. 6th @ 8:00 am not only will we have a new look, but since we have joined Banner University Medical Group our name is changing.......just slightly. We will become Banner University Medical Group - Cholla Pediatrics. This change should be relatively transparent to you, our patients. We'd like to thank you for trusting us to care for your most precious gifts, as we pride ourselves in treating each patient and family with the best care and respect possible.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL PHYSICALS ~
We realize the current school year hasn't even ended, yet we want to be proactive in letting parents know it's not to early to schedule your child's back-to-school physical. Please keep in mind July and August tend to be one of the most busy times of year for us and we do our best to accommodate everyone's wants; however, in order to help us do so it would be greatly appreciated if you scheduled your child's appointment a month or two before school gets back in session. We are usually fully booked for July and August by the end of June, so the sooner you call, the better. If there is still a need, we extend clinic hours as necessary. It becomes more difficult to schedule what is being requested, last minute. We appreciate you trusting us in the care of your children and with your help we can meet your scheduling needs.
