Afterhours Telemedicine Visits
If you'd rather see a healthcare provider virtually after hours than just receive medical advice by phone, Children’s National primary care has partnered with Hello Pediatrics,
a group of board-certified pediatricians, to provide afterhours telemedicine appointments and nurse advice wherever you may be located. Your primary care office will also follow-up after your visit to ensure continued care and healthy outcomes for your child.
Call your primary care office to connect with a Hello Pediatrics provider for a telemedicine visit now!
*For life-threatening emergencies, please proceed to the nearest Emergency Room or dial 911.
