Location
We are located on the 5th floor of 1207 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19107, near the corner of 12th Street and Chestnut Street. We are easily accessible via the Broad Street Line (City Hall stop) and the Market Frankford Line (13th Street stop). Just about any bus that travels near City Hall will get you to our practice. Use Google maps to find out how to get to us using public transportation. If you would choose to drive here we recommend leaving plenty of time in case of a traffic or parking issues.
If you plan to drive please consider downloading and using the ‘PARKMOBILE’ app. It allows you to pay the meter remotely, so you won’t have to leave your visit early!
Insurance
Philadelphia FIGHT has agreements with most major insurance companies. For those without insurance we are required by law to ask for payment according to a sliding fee scale. It is critical that your child be insured because even if we see you, many specialists will only see patients with insurance and many medications are too expensive to afford without insurance. If needed, we have a benefits coordinator who can support you with your application for health insurance. Unfortunately we cannot accept out of state Medicaid plans.
Vaccines
It is our strong medical recommendation that all children receive vaccines according to the schedule provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We vaccinate our own children according to these schedules. Vaccines are safe, they are effective, and they save lives. When you vaccinate your child you are also protecting others in the community who are too weak, small or sick to protect themselves from dangerous diseases.
Click below for the current recommended vaccine schedules. Please talk to your child’s provider for any questions.
Vaccine schedule for children from Birth to Age 6 Vaccine schedule for children from Age 7 through 18
Sick Visits
If you are having a medical emergency please go to the closest emergency room or call 911. However, if your child is sick, and it is not an emergency, please call us at 215-525-8600 or schedule online at fight.org/pediatrics/schedule. We are available 24 hours a day to answer questions about your sick child. If you call after-hours or on the weekends just listen to the voicemail and at the very end you will be automatically connected with a nurse who will handle your phone call. If they are unable to handle your situation they will notify one of our medical providers who are on call 24 hours a day, even on weekends and holidays. Remember, if it is NOT an emergency and your child is sick please CALL US FIRST before going to an emergency department or an urgent care center. Many times we can handle your issue over the telephone, which will save you tons of time and stress.
Walk-in Visits
We will accept patients on a walk-in basis, however they must be already established as patients in our practice. Our walk-in hours are 9am-11am and 1pm-3pm (Monday-Friday). We cannot accommodate walk-in well child visits, these visits are meant for patients who are sick. We only accept a few walk-in patients per day so if you walk-in and we are completely booked there is a possibility that we might not be able to see you. We strongly recommend that you call our office and schedule an appointment if your child needs to be seen. In some cases we might be able to solve your problem without you having to come to our office, that would save you lots of time!
The only way to guarantee that your child will be seen is to arrive on-time for a scheduled appointment.
