Flower What to Expect
Image Whether this is your first visit to Children's Hospital Boston, or one of many, we know the experience can be stressful for you and your family. Planning ahead and being prepared will help ease your concerns and decrease your wait.

New Patients

Your Arrival
When you arrive at our location on the 5th floor at 333 Longwood Avenue (across the street from Main entrance at Children's Hospital Boston, above the Harvard Coop), one of our staff at the check-in desk will verify your personal and insurance information and collect the co-pay (usually $10-$20) for your visit.

You will then go to the waiting area where you will be asked to answer questions regarding your health history.

What To Expect During Your Appointment

The Adolescent/Young Adult Medical Practice offers primary and consultative care. To prepare for your primary care visit, please bring your immunization records with you. For consultant care, please bring your medical records from your doctor.

Select your program below for specific information on what to expect:

After Your Appointment
After the doctor has seen you, you will stop at the checkout desk to make any follow-up appointments.

Important Info About Doctors' Notes
Please remember to ask for any letters for school, gym notes, prescription refills and other requests before you leave the office. At anytime, please do not hesitate to ask one of our staff for assistance or information.
Return Patients

Because demographic and insurance information is verified at every visit, please bring your insurance card every time you come to Children's. If your insurance, address or phone number changes, please contact the office so we can update it. This will help us in the event we need to contact you to change your appointment.

If X-rays are needed on your return visit, please plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before your appointment. Traffic and parking in the Longwood Medical area can often be congested. Please take this into account when you plan when to leave for your visit.
