We take a gentle, child-led approach to pediatric healthcare. Our staff uses simple explanations, comfort positioning, distraction techniques, and plenty of patience.

What’s the average wait time for appointments at COPA?

We encourage families to build a long-term relationship with their primary pediatric provider. Because of this, well-child visits with your child’s PCP may need to be scheduled several weeks in advance. Problem oriented visits are available within a few days, and we always reserve same day appointments for urgent concerns. In-office wait times are typically short — we do our best to keep your family’s day running smoothly.
