Frequently Asked Questions
No appointment is necessary. We welcome walk-ins daily from 8am to 8pm at both our Palm Beach Gardens and Stuart locations. However, if you're coming close to closing time or during typically busy hours (late afternoon), calling ahead can help ensure we have adequate time for a thorough examination.
Most camp physical visits are completed efficiently, allowing you to leave with signed paperwork the same day. The examination itself is comprehensive but streamlined. We recommend arriving at least 90 minutes before closing to ensure adequate time for the complete evaluation and form completion.
Please bring your child's camp physical form (or we can provide a standard form), immunization records, photo ID for the parent/guardian, insurance card if applicable, and a list of current medications or health conditions. Having immunization records readily available helps us complete the form faster and ensures accuracy.
We accept and complete all camp physical forms, regardless of the camp or organization. Whether it's a standard form, specialty camp requirements, or overnight camp documentation, our medical providers are experienced in completing various camp health forms according to each camp's specific requirements.
Yes, we can administer required immunizations during the camp physical visit if needed. We stock common vaccines required for camp participation. If your child needs vaccines, this can be done during the same visit, and we'll update the immunization documentation on the camp form accordingly.
Most camps require physicals completed within 12 months of the camp start date, though requirements vary by camp and state regulations. Some specialty camps or overnight camps may require more recent examinations (within 6 months). Check your specific camp's requirements, and we'll ensure the physical meets their timeline specifications.
Our medical providers are experienced in evaluating children with chronic conditions for camp participation. We'll review your child's condition management, current medications, and any special accommodations needed. We'll provide detailed documentation on the camp form to ensure camp staff can properly support your child's health needs during their stay.
While there is significant overlap, camp physicals often have specific requirements that differ from school or sports physicals. Camp forms typically include questions about overnight stay readiness, swimming ability, activity restrictions, and detailed immunization verification. We ensure all camp-specific requirements are thoroughly addressed, even if your child recently had a school or sports physical.
