General Office Information

Welcome to Cornerstone Pediatrics at Priemer Care ! We welcome the opportunity to care for your child. Cornerstone Pediatrics cares for patients from the newborn period through college graduation. Our staff includes well-trained nurses and office assistants who collectively have decades of experience in working with children. Each of our physicians are Board-Certified or Board-Eligible by the American Board of Pediatrics.

Our regularly scheduled office hours are Monday- Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon/1:30 pm to 5:00 pm and Friday from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon . Extended hours are scheduled on weekends and holidays for urgent care at our home office on Quaker Lane in the High Point Medical Center . Our electronic medical record allows seamless communication of your child's medical information between our Premier Care office and our home office in the High Point Medical Center . A physician is on call after hours and on holidays. The pediatrician on call can be reached by calling our office at 802-2100. Any changes from our usual office schedule due to inclement weather will be announced on WGHP, Fox 8.

Patients are seen by appointment, although emergencies will be seen immediately. Calling the office prior to bringing a child during office hours (even in the case of an emergency) will help us to respond promptly and efficiently to the needs of your child. Appointments can be made by calling the office at 802-2100.

Many of the more frequently performed laboratory tests can be done in our office. Additional testing may be done by the Cornerstone Lab or the Spectrum Lab, both conveniently located in the Medical Center or at the High Point Regional Hospital . X-ray studies may be performed at the Cornerstone Imaging Center also located in the High Point Medical Center .

The pediatricians at Cornerstone Pediatrics also care for children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder using both medicine and non-medicine approaches to treatment at our home office . Please contact the ADHD coordinator in our office regarding these appointments.

We welcome you to our practice and encourage your questions. Our experienced nursing staff can answer many of your questions. However, if you desire to speak to your physician, he/she will return your call as soon as time permits. Recommended reading and educational materials for your child's health care issues are available upon request.

Weekday Office Information

Weekday office hours are Monday-Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon/1:30 pm to 5:00 pm and Friday from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon . Please call ahead to determine the appointment time to best fit your schedule. Acutely ill children arriving without an appointment will be seen as soon as possible. However, there may be delays in being seen in this situation.

In order to avoid undue waiting, we ask your cooperation in scheduling checkups as far ahead as possible. In general, physical examinations are scheduled between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Physical examinations for school activity participation are best done in a private office setting by physicians familiar with your child's medical history and where other health records are available. Examinations provided through clinics sponsored by the schools are intended for those with no regular source of medical care and should not take the place of a regular comprehensive physical exam.

After Hours ( 8:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. )

The pediatrician on call can be reached through our nurse triage at the usual office number. Our nurse can often answer many of your questions. However, in the case of an emergency, the pediatrician will be contacted.

Please do not utilize the hospital emergency department except for severe emergencies. If at all possible, please call our on-call physician before taking your child to the ER. Many after hours urgent medical care needs can be handled in the home office at a considerably lower expense and timelier than in the ER. Some health insurance plans will not cover ER visits where prior authorization from the on-call physician has not been obtained. Our doctors are available when you need them, so don't hesitate to call us!
