What to have ready before you call
A little preparation makes the phone call itself quick. Before you dial, it helps to have on hand a few basics, though the front desk can walk you through any of it if you'd rather just call and talk it out.
- Your child's full name and date of birth
- Whether this is a first visit or a routine checkup
- Any specific worry: a tooth that looks off, a habit like thumb sucking, or general nerves about the visit
- Names of any siblings you would like seen the same day, if possible
None of this is required ahead of time. It simply moves faster when you already know the answers.
One call covers the whole family
Families in Buckingham are often planning around more than one child and more than one schedule. Say so when you call. Appointments for siblings can often be scheduled back to back so a single trip covers everyone, rather than making the same drive twice in one month.
It also depends on the visit. A routine checkup for one child and a first visit for another are different situations, and the front desk plans the day around what each child actually needs rather than treating every appointment the same.
Booking is one quick call.
One number reaches both offices, Monday to Friday 8 to 5. Your child's health details stay in a conversation with our front desk, never typed into a website.
New patient, or just new to us
Whether your family has never been seen before or simply has not visited in a while, the process starts the same way, with a phone call. Booking is by phone on purpose: your child's health details stay in a conversation with our front desk, never typed into a website, and new patient forms arrive ahead of time so you can fill them out at your own kitchen table instead of the waiting room.
One number reaches both offices, (239) 482-2722, Monday to Friday, 8 to 5, and a real human answers.

Everything about the Fort Myers office itself, not just how to reach it, lives on its own page if you want to read further before you call: our Fort Myers office guide covers the building, the team, and what your child will see walking in.

Parents ask us
Can we schedule more than one child on the same day?
Often, yes. Mention every child you would like seen when you call, and the front desk will try to schedule appointments back to back so one trip covers the family. It depends on the day and what each child needs, so ask directly rather than assuming.
Do we need a referral to become new patients?
No referral is needed. Call (239) 482-2722, tell the front desk you would like to become a new patient, and they will take it from there, including sending forms ahead of your visit.
What if we are running behind on the day of the appointment?
Call the office as soon as you know, rather than after the fact. The front desk would rather adjust the schedule than have you rush, and they can tell you whether to still come in or reschedule.
Ready to set sail?
A real human answers, Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm. New patient forms arrive ahead of time, no clipboard scramble.
