How do I transfer my child to Dr Cadet?
You can call to make an appointment. However, the office requires that you complete and sign the AUTHORIZATION FOR MEDICAL RECORDS form and bring any copies of vaccinations, your insurance card and any other pertinent information to your child’s first appointment. You can also fill out the NEW PATIENT REGISTRATION FORMS from our patient portal or when you come for your first visit. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your first appointment and so that our front desk can collect all of your information prior to entrance into the exam room.
