Sick visits in Clermont

Fever, ear pain, a cough that will not quit. We hold time every weekday and Saturday morning for same-day sick visits. Call when we open.

Call (352) 555-0142 when the phones open at 8 on weekdays or 9 on Saturday. The front desk will give you the first time that fits. Sick children use the separate sick entrance and waiting room.

Choose the nurse line when you call. A pediatric nurse will tell you whether to wait for the morning, come in first thing, or go to the emergency room.

Call 911 for trouble breathing, a seizure, a child who is hard to wake, or any emergency.
