Choosing a pediatrician

We are accepting new patients. Hugo Clinic offers expectant/new parents an opportunity to attend a pediatrician meet and greet. This is an opportunity to ask questions and get to know more about the pediatrician who would be caring for your child. Call the clinic for dates and times of upcoming events: 651-426-1141.

  • If they are unavailable, who else in the practice is available to care for your child
  • In the event of an emergency, what hospital is the pediatrician affiliated with?
  • What are the office hours? What are the weekend or evening hours?
  • Are same-day sick appointments offered?
  • Is there a designated waiting area for well children and a separate one for sick children?
  • Is your insurance accepted?
  • If you need to cancel a well visit, how long will you need to wait until for a rescheduled appointment?
