An online pediatric visit is a full pediatric visit by video: you book online in about a minute, meet face-to-face with Dr. Bochare, and leave with treatment advice, prescriptions sent to your pharmacy when appropriate, and school and work notes handled. One flat fee — $125. Follow-up visits within a week of the original visit are included in the initial consult fee.
How an online visit works
- Book online in about a minute. Pick a time at 210pediatrics.com — no app to download, no insurance card to dig out.
- Meet by video. You'll talk face-to-face with the pediatrician, who will ask about symptoms, look at what can be seen on camera (a rash, a throat, how your child is breathing and acting), and review any history you share.
- Leave with everything handled. Treatment advice, clear instructions on what to watch for, prescriptions sent to your pharmacy when one is appropriate, and the paperwork done — school and daycare notes for your child, work notes for you. Your visit records are available online through CarePatron, and the whole process is HIPAA-compliant end to end.
One flat fee: $125 per visit, self-pay, no surprise bills. And if the same problem needs a second look, follow-up visits within a week of the original visit are included in the initial consult fee.
What an online pediatrician can treat
Many everyday childhood problems can be handled well by video, including:
- Colds, coughs, and flu-like symptoms
- Fevers — with guidance on what's safe to watch at home
- Rashes, eczema, and skin infections
- Pink eye (conjunctivitis)
- Allergies and hay fever
- Sinus infections and sinus pain
- Sore throats — evaluated on video; strep needs a throat test to confirm, and we'll tell you the right next step
- Stomach bugs, mild vomiting and diarrhea
- Constipation
- Ear pain — swimmer's ear and eustachian tube problems can be treated by video; a middle ear infection can't be confirmed without an otoscope, so those need an in-person visit
- Insect bites and stings
- Headaches
- Questions about medications, dosing, and refills
What online visits can't do — honestly
A video visit has real limits, and a good pediatrician will tell you when your child needs hands-on care instead. Go in person — urgent care or the emergency department — for:
- Trouble breathing, blue lips, or a child who is unusually drowsy or hard to wake
- Signs of dehydration (no tears, dry mouth, very little urine)
- A fever in a baby under 3 months old
- Urinary symptoms in children — a urine test is needed before antibiotics, so these go to in-person testing
- Vomiting blood or coffee-ground material, or projectile vomiting in a baby under 3 months
- Injuries that may need stitches, X-rays, or a hands-on exam
- Severe pain, a stiff neck, or a rash that doesn't fade when pressed
If a video visit shows your child needs in-person care, you'll be told plainly and promptly — that's part of the visit's value.
Why families choose a virtual visit
- No waiting room. Your child stays home, comfortable, and away from other sick kids.
- Evening and weekend hours. We're open until 9 PM, seven days a week — the hours when kids actually get sick.
- One flat price. $125, known before you book. No copay math, no insurance runaround.
- The same doctor. You see Dr. Bochare — not a rotating call-center clinician.
