University Pediatrics Association is now using a night-time nurse triage service called Triage 4 Pediatrics. If you need assistance after office hours 7 days a week, please call 1-800-665-2931 and the pediatric nurse will assist you, just as our nurses currently do in the daytime. The doctor on call is available through the nurse triage if needed.

What is a Pediatrician? A pediatrician is a medical doctor who takes care of infants, children, teens and young adults through the age of 21. Pediatricians specialize in caring for the whole child. They look at physical, mental and social health. At the same time, they keep track of growth, family, school, friends and anything else that might affect a child's overall health.

What is a Nurse Practitioner? A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse (RN) who has advanced education and clinical training in a health care specialty area. Most nurse practitioners are nationally certified in their specialty area and are recognized as expert nurses. They provide people with the information they need to make informed decisions about their health care.
