“Hopscotch: A One-of-a-Kind Clinic Devoted to Health Care”
The Hopscotch Family Centered Philosophy:
Developing mutual respect between the doctor and the patient and the patient’s parent or guardian is key to providing superior pediatric health care.
In keeping with that philosophy, Hopscotch pledges:
To schedule patient appointments responsibly so that the Hopscotch patient is guaranteed maximum time with his or her attending doctor;
To assure direct communication between patient and doctor. Hopscotch doctors are reachable twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week on their cell phones. At Hopscotch, there are no answering machines;
To create and maintain a clinic atmosphere and environment that at all times keeps the patient as comfortable as possible;
To guarantee there is no wait in the Hopscotch waiting room. At the appointed time, the patient checks in with clinic staff and is taken directly to the examining room where the doctor prepares for the visit;
(Medical emergencies do arise on occasion and when that occurs and we are unable to fulfill out no-wait pledge, Hopscotch issues a $25 gift card to that patient.)
While our pledge to treating the patient might sound outdated—in a bustling digital world that is the 21st century—we believe the interpersonal, family centered approach is still the best.
