Outpatient
Services
The North Carolina Children's Hospital, which opened
all new facilities in the spring of 2002, provides
comprehensive pediatric services in its Children’s
Outpatient Center. Located on the ground floor of the
new NC Children's Hospital, the outpatient clinics
offer pediatric subspecialty and primary care and are
dedicated exclusively to caring for children's health
care needs.
Appointments
Most of the clinicians in the Department of Pediatrics
see children "by referral" in our outpatient clinics.
This means that, in most cases, the patient's
pediatrician or family physician usually will schedule
the first appointment for a patient visit to an
outpatient clinic at the NC Children's Hospital.
However, some of the clinics can be contacted directly
to schedule an appointment.
If a child has an appointment scheduled with one of
the outpatient clinics, and you need to make a change
or ask a question – or you need to schedule an
appointment – please contact the clinic directly.
Here is a list of the divisions within the Department
of Pediatrics that have clinics. Please click to
their respective websites for contact phone numbers,
more information about their clinics or an appointment
for treatment within their pediatric specialty.

What to Take to an Appointment
When going for an appointment with a member of the UNC
medical team, it is always helpful for the patient to
take the following:
- UNC medical record card (for
patients coming for a first time visit, the clinic
will direct you where to go to get a UNC card).
- Health insurance information.
- Medical records (or arrange
for the physician who referred you to send the
records in advance of your appointment) and any
other materials (such as x-rays) that might be
important for your child's evaluation.
