| Welcome to Preferred Pediatrics, located in Fredericksburg, Virginia. We have two convenient locations to serve you. They are located in the city of Fredericksburg and Lee's Hill. Our physicians provide General Pediatric care for newborns to adolescents. We work as a team with the families of our patients in delivering the best possible health care to each individual. Most of our providers in our practice are parents of young children, and they all understand the needs of today's families.
Kindegarten and School Physicals
It's school
and sports physical time. Be sure to schedule kindergarten and sports physical
as early as possible. Well checks that were done one year prior to September
2009 can be used for the kindergarten physical; just bring the appropriate form
to our office. Please be aware there will be a $10 fee to fill out forms unless
they are brought to the actual appointment. Some insurance companies require
the physicals to actually be one year to the date from the previous and some
insurance companies are by calendar year. Please check with your insurance if
you are unsure.
Sports physicals
have to be dated after May 1, 2009 to be valid for the 2009/2010 school year.
Make sure to bring the appropriate from with you on the date of your
appointment or there will be a $10 fee to fill the form out.
