New Appointments: If this is a new appointment, consent forms/documentation must be signed at the visit by a legal guardian.

Return Appointments: If this is a return appointment, the consent forms/documentation will be expired.

These documents can be brought by the adult accompanying your child to the appointment, as long as they are signed by a legal guardian in advance. The documents will be scanned to your child's medical record and will be valid for one (1) year.

Please note:

  • Each child will need their own set of signed consent forms/documents.
  • If these documents are not received at the time of the appointment, we may need to reschedule your child's appointment.
