(This is a new pediatric office that is opening tomorrow in Leawood, KS.  Great pediatricians and very nice people.  If y0u live in the area and are looking for a new office, I would recommend giving them a look. Below is a letter they have sent to their current patients.   **OBTW…they are not paying me to say this.  I just like them.) ~ Nurse Mommy

Dear Valued Patient-

We are excited to announce that Leawood Pediatrics will be open for business on Thursday March 10, 2011!  On Thursday and Friday of this week, we plan on seeing scheduled sick patients and walk-in sick patients.  We will also be seeing new infant follow-ups at this time.  We will start seeing limited well visits the week of March 14^th.  Please be patient with us in this early opening time, as we will be in our temporary space and have limited phone access.

Because of that, we will also be accepting appointment requests through our email account, leawoodpediatrics@gmail.com.  We would ask that when you email, please include the patient’s name, physician, his/her date of birth, reason for visit, desired date and time of appointment, and the best phone number to reach you for a return call.  When we receive that email during business hours, please expect a return call within 2 hours to confirm or edit the appointment.  If the email is received after business hours, please expect a call during the first two hours of the next business day.

Leawood Pediatrics is located at 5401 College Boulevard, conveniently located at the Southeast corner of College and Nall and right off of I-435 and Nall.  We currently are in our temporary Suite, Suite 203, until the construction is completed on our permanent home, Suite 102.  Our permanent Suite will be located on the first floor and have its own entrance from the outside directly to the clinic.  That means you can park less than 50 feet from the front door!  We will have a completely new space, and we know that all of you are going to be really pleased.

We will be utilizing an electronic health record, and that will come on board in May. As for the space itself, we will have both a sick and well waiting room and have 15 patient exam rooms.  Our color scheme will be bright and kid-friendly, but pleasing to the eyes of parents as well.  We will have a conference room, and plan in the near future to have classes led both our physicians and outside sources.  We will continue to have lactation services for our youngest patients and their parents.

Also, you will see many of your favorite faces throughout, not just the doctors, but nurses and other support staff!  We are incredibly excited about building our new place and hope you are just as excited about your child’s new medical home.

If you are interested in obtaining a release of records form, please contact us at leawoodpediatrics@gmail.com.  Furthermore, if you are on Facebook, you can “like” us at keyword: Leawood Pediatrics for the most up to date information.  And as a last word, our website should be live but not fully functional this week!  Please visit www.leawoodpediatrics.com !
