Your next visit for a non-emergency issue or a re-check could take place in the convenience of your home via telemedicine with your trusted ActiveKidMD physician who knows you and your family.

We are also starting some partial well-child physicals via telemedicine during the COVID-19 social distancing periods. We can do the initial patient history and counseling/guidance portions via telemedicine. Once social distancing requirements are relaxed, we can schedule an office visit to complete the physical exam, vitals, and other portions of the physical. Starting the well-child physical through telemedicine will get you and your child closer to getting their physical done ahead of upcoming due dates. Please contact ActiveKidMD to learn more!

With ActiveKidMD and Anytime Pediatrics, accessing quality healthcare for your child is convenient, affordable and can be available during the day or even after hours when the office is closed.

Contact Us First!

Anytime Pediatrics technology is simple to use and less stressful than a trip to the urgent care clinic or Emergency Room. A visit via Anytime Pediatrics — with your trusted ActiveKidMD physician— is significantly less expensive and often covered by health insurance.

ActiveKidMD is currently offering the Anytime Pediatrics telemedicine option only for our established patients who already had at least one past office visit.
Please contact ActiveKidMD to become a patient and have us partner with you and your family.

You can start your video appointment with your ActiveKidMD physician with these easy steps:

Register

Register for a free account-you can do this even before you or your child need a telemedicine visit. You can also login with an existing account.
Access care quickly and easily — via the ActiveKidMD/Anytime Pediatrics website or App (click for Apple products or Windows/Google)— from your smart phone, tablet or computer. The ActiveKidMD practice code is 2220.

Then, tell us a little bit about yourself, including:

• Your name and contact information
• Your health insurance provider and policy number (optional)
• Your preferred ActiveKidMD physician name so that we can share notes from your visit
• Your payment information. Rest assured, your card won’t be charged until you initiate a consultation. Your will be responsible for any co-pays or deductible portions not covered by your medical insurance. We also offer fair pricing for cash paying patients.
  Set up your child’s profile (or your profile if you are the patient). Simply tell us:
  • Name, birthdate, gender, height and weight, and about any allergies, current medications, and medical conditions

To Schedule a Visit

As ActiveKidMD introduces the Anytime Pediatrics telemedicine option, we have selected that only our office staff or physicians can schedule appointments.

Thus, once you have created an account and registered, please call the office (714) 974-2220 to make your telemedicine appointment.

Once everyone gets more comfortable with Anytime Pediatrics telemedicine, ActiveKidMD may introduce options for patients and families to self-schedule and ask for their own appointment times.
