[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I wouldn't.  Not a sign of great things to come in terms of the practice if they charge for that. [/quote]

This. Do they have information for new patients that describes their policies: well and sick appointments (how early can you schedule), after hours (is there someone on call after hours), do they have someone available for sick visits on weekends and holidays? Do the doctors have call hours so you could call the ped if you have questions - are these free or do they also charge for them? Can they accept you in practice without this initial meeting or you do need to meet to be accepted in their practice? Do they take insurance? The after hours and weekends are really important, as well as ability to call your doctor for questions. If they have this information clear on their website, then there is really no need for you to have separate call (other than to see if personality wise the dr is pleasant). If they don’t have this info, then just move elsewhere.[/quote]
