ASSOCIATED PEDIATRICS WELCOMES DR. BRAD FULLER
Associated Pediatrics is pleased to announce that Dr. Brad Fuller is joining our practice starting July 1, 2012. Many of you may have already met him as he has been a resident doctor here for the last two years. Dr. Fuller will complete his pediatric residency at Nationwide Children's Hospital this June 2012.

We are fortunate to add Dr. Fuller as he always excelled throughout his training with his knowledge in pediatrics and clinical acumen. Dr. Fuller's wife, Jennifer, is a NICU nurse at Nationwide Children's Hospital and they have a beautiful two-year old daughter Olivia. We are confident that the addition of Dr. Fuller at Associated Pediatrics will be invaluable. Please help us welcome Dr. Brad Fuller to our group on your next visit with us.

While we are pleased to welcome Dr. Fuller, we are also coming to an end of an era with the retirement of Dr. W. David Dawdy. Dr. Dawdy's commitment to his patients and families has been outstanding. He has been a highly skilled physician and warm & caring person that all of us at Associated Pediatrics have grown to love.

Dr. Dawdy is retiring to enjoy well-deserved time with his beloved grandchildren and family. August 31, 2012 will be his last day of practice in our office. His nurse, Dodi, and our staff members are committed to assisting you and your families with this transition. Dr. Dawdy will be greatly missed, but the devotion and patient-centered care he has been known for will forever be continued at Associated Pediatrics.

SPORTS / BACK TO SCHOOL FORMS
Bring completed physical exam forms during exams or request 1-2 months before needed to avoid student exclusion. Keep copies for multiple uses.
IMMUNIZATION RECORDS
Make sure to get copies for your child's vaccine record after their 2, 5, 12 & 18 year visits. Keep copies at home in an accessible secure place as these are often needed even as an adult.

Phones open at 7:45 - 8:00 am, call early for best available times.
NEED AN EVENING APPOINTMENT?
Schedule appointments 3 - 4 months in advance as evening hours book up quickly (remember after hours fee apply).

PATIENT BALANCES
Receiving a bill you do not believe is your responsibility? Call our billing department immediately while problem can still be corrected (614-882-8006). Insurance Companies have timed filing limits for claims & appeals. Delayed action will leave you responsible for the balance.
REFERRALS
If your insurance requires a referral from your Primary Care Physician to see a specialist, be sure to let us know well in advance to avoid being rescheduled and for maximum coverage by your insurance.
URGENT CARE / HOSPITAL VISIT
Talk to one of our physicians on call after office hours. They may very well save you a costly and inconvenient trip to the hospital or confirm the need for immediate medical care.
FLU CLINIC INFO
Avoid calling the office and watch our web site for date postings. This helps keep our phone lines open to care for your ill child.
