new patients

Sounds great to us! We would love to be your pediatric health care providers!

Here's what you need to do now:

FIRST, IF YOUR CHILD IS VERY SICK, CALL 911 OR GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM NOW.

Now some bad news. Approximately 2 years after we opened, we started restricting the number of new families we accepted into our practice. We wanted to have enough time to provide great service to our current families. Your chance of being accepted as a new family depends on many factors including the age of your child and how busy we are at the office. For example, your chance of being accepted as a new family is better if you have a newborn baby versus having an 18 year old. As another example, your chance is better if you call us in May or September (slow months) versus calling us in July or December (busy months).

If you would like to try to be a new family of Oshiro Pediatrics, we need the following information. You can then cut and paste into your e-mail.

If you prefer, call 702-733-6033 and press option 6. You can do this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Leave the above information on the answering machine. We will call you back during normal business hours, usually within four hours..

If you are trying to be seen the same day, call us at 702-733-6033 and press option 1 during normal business hours. We will try to see you the same day if that is your wish, but cannot guarantee that we can make that happen. Please have your insurance card in front of you when you call us. We need your member number and the telephone number of your insurance company. There are over 20 different Aetna plans with 20 different phone numbers. We can't call every single one! If you have a SECONDARY insurance, we need that information BEFORE your appointment. If you tell us about your secondary insurance when you arrive for your appointment, you may lose your appointment time and will have to wait longer than usual.
