Do you fill out Camp, Daycare and/or Sports physicals?


Yes, for daycare and camp forms, you must have had a well child visit within the 12 months. For infants, you must be current on your most recent well exam (ex. 2mo, 4mo, 6mo) Please allow 24 hours for those forms to be completed.

There is a $45 charge for all sport physicals. Sport physicals require a doctor's visit. Sports physicals are not well exams.  During your office visit, if cleared, you will receive form same day.
