TPG ANNOUNCEMENTS
Patient Portal
Our goal is to provide our patients with the best experience possible when interacting with our providers and staff. Starting in late spring, our web-based patient portal will allow you to simply and securely fill out registration forms, pay your bill on-line, and update contact and insurance information. Please use the "Contact Us" feature above to receive an invitation to sign up for our portal later this spring.
KidsDoc Symptom Checker App
The American Academy of Pediatrics has a KidsDoc Symptom Checker App for iPhone and Android. This app has a symptom care guide including appropriate homecare measures to take and advice on when it is necessary to call our overnight Triage service to seek help for your child. This can be a great tool to use when your child is sick in the middle of the night or when you are on the go.
