Modern Take on the House Call Pediatrician
127 Pediatrics is a modern pediatric practice with an old fashion way of doing things. Our practice offers you the convenience and care of a house call pediatrician.
Back a long time ago, house calls were a thing for doctors. A trusted physician traveled from house to house seeing their patients and caring for the sick. Nowadays, managed care and slim margins necessitate that doctors see patients in the office and sometimes as often as every 10 minutes.
Dr. Wadley has brought back the art of the pediatric home visit with her practice 127 Pediatrics. She maintains a small patient panel so that she can provide the convenience of house calls to children in her practice.
Experienced Care
Dr. Wadley is a board certified pediatrician with more than 10 years of experience as a general pediatrician. She obtained extra education in breastfeeding medicine and offers lactation care for families. As an IBCLC and a pediatrician, she is able to care for a wide range of problems.
How it works
In order to obtain house calls for your children, you must become a member of 127 Pediatrics. Membership with 127 Pediatrics includes well visits, sick visits and care for chronic medical problems. In addition, your membership includes direct access to the pediatrician between visits.
Each month, you will pay a membership fee that gives you and your children full access to the benefits of a house call pediatrician. This fee ensures that you receive high quality pediatric care at a predictable cost. There are no co-pays or other surprise expenses.
Easy Access At Your Doctor
Every member of the practice has direct access to Dr. Wadley via text, phone, email and a secure patient portal. There are not layers and layers of people between you and your child’s doctor.
Delivering Efficient, Personalized Care
We live in a large metro area where there is an abundance of pediatricians and family doctors that can care for your child. The main difference between a traditional pediatric office and a house call pediatrician is the efficient and personalized care that Dr. Wadley provides for her patients.
While there are many wonderful pediatricians in Tarrant county, they can be restricted on time due to the demands of being in a large practice. Dr. Wadley maintains a practice with an exclusive number of patients so that she can offer concierge level care to each child.
Convenience
There is nothing exciting about sitting in a waiting room full of kids with your sick child. A house call pediatrician offers to come see your sick kid at your house. Your living room becomes the waiting room. He can snuggle on the couch with his favorite stuffy while he waits for Dr. Wadley to come for see him.
In addition to sick care, home visit well child visits are also convenient. You can schedule your child’s visit with Dr. Wadley around your work, school and activity schedule. She offers after school appointments, day time appointments and sometimes even weekend appointments if needed. Each well visit generally takes about an hour which offers ample time to get all of your questions answered. 127 Pediatrics patients love it when Dr. Wadley comes to their house.
Additionally, what could be better than texting your child’s pediatrician directly? If you think of a question that you forgot to ask at your child’s visit, or they have a new rash that you want Dr. Wadley to see, or they started with a fever after their vaccines, you have the freedom to contact your pediatrician directly. She is always the person on the other side of the phone.
Faster Appointment Times
When you call your in-office pediatrician, how long does it take to get an appointment? A house call pediatrician such as Dr. Wadley is able to offer faster appointments. Often times, she can answer your question over the phone and you don’t even need to make an appointment.
She can also offer you a video visit over tele-medicine. Sometimes you just need reassurance that your child is okay.
Telemedicine Services
Tele-medicine also offers a convenient way to follow up on chronic issues. Dr. Wadley often talks with kids over video while their parents are sitting next to them. She discusses follow up concerns about their ADHD, anxiety or depression. She can also check in on their asthma after they begin a new medication. Video visits offer another layer of convenience, especially for busy families.
