Google Maps Directions MAKE A PAYMENT TO MAYFAIR MEDICAL GROUP Welcome to was founded in 1971 by Drs. Frank Waldo, Harry Register and Tommy Amason and was purchased by Children’s of Alabama in 1997. Our eight pediatricians provide care for children from birth through college years. Our goal is to make your visits to our office as pleasant and stress-free as possible while we share in your child's care. Our staff is well trained to provide for your child’s medical needs, including well and sick visits, immunizations and school forms. If your child needs more specific treatment beyond a general pediatrician, we can refer you to highly qualified specialists in the Birmingham area. Thank you for trusting for your child’s medical care. Practice Information All office visits are by appointment. Our goal is see your sick child on the day that you call our office, however there could be times we cannot meet this goal due to the high volume of sick children in the fall/winter months. Well check up appointments can be made in advance. The Saturday hours are for sick child visits only and are not scheduled in advance. If your child is needing immunizations only and is current on their well visits you may call the office and schedule a nurse only visit. The nurse only visits are scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays between 9:00am-12:00pm and 2:00pm-4:00pm. We schedule nurse only visits to help avoid long waiting times but please remember that our nurses are also assisting the physicians and patients in the office. Prior to your first visit send us a copy of your child's immunization record and medical history. Please bring your insurance card to every visit.

This summarizes the basic procedures that each well child visit includes. The height and weight will also be measured and you will receive a note card that has your child's measurements on it. At all check-ups, you will receive hand-outs regarding Well Child Care and Normal Development. You will discuss with your child's doctor how your child's growth compares with other children his/her age.

Well Child Visits and Immunizations Well child visits and immunizations are a critical part of keeping your child healthy. At these visits your pediatrician will not only be looking for signs of illness or disease, but we also want to ensure that your child's development is appropriate for his or her age. We welcome your questions about your child's illnesses, diet, development, behavior and any other concerns. Usually our well child visits are scheduled for age 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, and 2 years. We continue to see children on a yearly basis until age 6 and every year thereafter until age 18. More frequent routine examinations might be necessary for children with chronic diseases or on daily medications. Immunizations are typically coordinated with well child visits and are a very important part of preventative care. These vaccines help prevent a number of potentially serious and life-threatening diseases. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends vaccines on a particular schedule. The most current recommendations can be found by clicking the “FAQs and Resources” tab in the top right corner under the search bar. Well child visits are scheduled by appointment only during our regular office hours: 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Monday- Friday. We allow more time for our well child visits so that there will be plenty of time for you to discuss any questions you have about your child's health and development. However, if you have special concerns you wish to discuss at check-up time please alert our staff when you schedule your appointment so we can schedule adequate time for your visit. Sick Visits We see patients by scheduled appointments only. Receptionists begin answering phone calls at 8:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and will schedule appointments between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. We are also open on Saturday mornings for acute medical problems from 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. We start answering the phone at 8:30 a.m. on Saturdays.
