SATURDAY HOURS: Saturday office hours for ILL children are available beginning October 2009, and continue until March 2010. As always, a Pediatrician is available on-call at all times and can be reached at 317-293-7177. Weekday office hours are from 8am to 5pm.
SPORTS PHYSICALS: Because many of you are made aware at the last minute of the need for sports physicals, Indianapolis Independent Pediatricians will make every attempt to give you a 24-48 hour turn-around on your forms. This will enable you to keep your child/teen's care in their medical home and to address all their needs such as immunizations and medicine refills.
