About your visit
Open any question to see the answer.
Who provides care at 210 Pediatrics?
Every visit is provided by Dr. Bochare, a physician who is board-certified specifically in Pediatrics. His board certification is in the medical specialty devoted to infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. 210 Pediatrics does not use a rotating panel of physicians or advanced practice clinicians.
What does board-certified pediatrician mean?
It means Dr. Bochare completed specialty training in Pediatrics and holds board certification specifically in Pediatrics. The phrase does not refer to board certification in Internal Medicine or Family Medicine while also treating pediatric patients.
What ages can be seen?
210 Pediatrics provides online visits for children and young adults under 21.
Whose information should I use when joining Spruce for my child?
A parent or legal guardian should create the Spruce account using the parent or guardian's own name, date of birth, phone number, and email address. After joining, send us the child's full name, date of birth, and your relationship to the child so we can create the correct patient conversation.
What if the patient is 18 or older?
Patients who are 18 or older should create their own Spruce account using their own name, date of birth, phone number, and email address, then message 210 Pediatrics directly. A parent may help with setup, but communication should occur through the adult patient's account unless the patient has given permission or the parent is the legal guardian.
How will the audio or video visit take place?
Secure audio and video visits are provided through HIPAA-compliant Spruce or Doximity services. You do not need to download either app to join a visit. Downloading the Spruce app is optional, but it can be more convenient because it supports secure text messaging, phone calls, and video visits in one place. Spruce is the official HIPAA-compliant way to contact 210 Pediatrics about care.
Where is care available?
Visits are available when the patient is physically located in Texas or Florida at the time of the appointment.
How much does a visit cost?
Each online visit is $125. The price is shown before you schedule.
Do you accept insurance?
No. 210 Pediatrics is a self-pay practice and does not bill insurance. A superbill can be provided on request, but reimbursement depends on your health plan and is not guaranteed.
Can I use an HSA or FSA card?
210 Pediatrics does not accept HSA or FSA payment at this time.
Can medication be prescribed?
Medication may be prescribed when Dr. Bochare determines it is clinically appropriate. A prescription is never guaranteed and some concerns require an examination or testing first.
Can an ear infection be diagnosed online?
Ear pain can be discussed online, but diagnosing a middle-ear infection often requires seeing the eardrum with an otoscope. If visualization is needed, you will be directed to appropriate in-person care.
Can a urinary tract infection be treated online?
Urinary symptoms can be assessed online, but urine testing and a urine culture are often needed before the diagnosis and treatment plan are clear. Dr. Bochare will help determine the safest next step.
What if my child needs in-person care?
You will receive clear guidance about whether to use primary care, urgent care, an emergency department, or another appropriate service. Online visits do not replace emergency care.
