Direct, Unlimited Access to Your Doctors
Day or night, weekday or weekend, you can always speak with the doctor when you have a question that cannot wait. Members will have a direct line to call our doctors, as well as a HIPAA-compliant and secure app with which to send texts. Members can also see the doctor for an unlimited number of visits without the hassle of copays. You can send a text or email for non-urgent concerns, and they will address your question as quickly as possible. Sometimes, a text or video chat may actually solve the problem without the need to bring your child in.
Plenty of Time
Do you know that sick visits in standard practices are scheduled every 5-15 minutes? At Sweetbay, because the practice size is limited, all sick visits receive a minimum of 30 minutes of the doctor's undivided attention and well visits receive a whole hour! Since there is plenty of time reserved for each patient, there is no back up and no wait.
A Clean Environment
With a limited number of patients with office visits each day, and plenty of time to clean between each one, you can talk to the doctor worry-free as you put your child down on the floor to play with the toys and books that are provided.
Continuity and Coordination of Care
When you access medical care, you shouldn't have to worry that the available doctor doesn't know you or your child. You don't have to worry who will be on call that day — because it will be a Sweetbay doctor! They will not only provide your child with individualized care, but they will call you directly to discuss and explain results, and will talk directly with specialists to coordinate your child's care if needed.
Quality Care
Take comfort in knowing that your pediatrician is board-certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and has nearly three decades of experience in both outpatient and hospital settings.
Lactation and Nutrition Support
As a lactation consultant with physician-level knowledge, Dr. Galla will provide unparalleled education, diagnosis and support for you and your baby. She feels fortunate to have been taught by some of the best in the field of breastfeeding medicine. Lactation support is included for all members. But most important is feeding, loving and growing your baby, and there are so many gratifying and healthy ways to do this, including with formula. Beyond infancy, we will help guide you through picky eating, growth spurts, mealtime antics and general nutrition needs of the growing child.
Simple, Predictable Pricing
Unlike traditional medical practices where costs can vary from visit to visit, Sweetbay Pediatrics is built around one simple monthly membership fee. There are no copays for the primary care services included in your membership and no surprise bills for the care we provide, allowing you to focus on your child's health instead of navigating complicated medical bills.
Medication Dispensing
When your child is sick, the last thing you want is a trip to the pharmacy. Let’s get your child home as soon as possible. That’s why we provide convenient, affordable medication dispensing from our office, which allows us to give the first dose immediately so that your child can start feeling better faster!
Same or Next Day Appointments
Need to see your pediatrician urgently? We always make time to see or counsel you if your child is uncomfortable or your needs are urgent. They know that illness and injuries have a way of striking after hours, and they will always strive to accommodate patients promptly.
