Do you have a kid playing sports this year and need a sports physical form signed? If your kid is up to date on their annual physical, more likely than not, we can complete the sports physical form without a scheduled visit. If your child has not had a physical exam or well child check in the past 12 months, call today to schedule one. For all District 51 sport physical forms, please have the front part of the form completed before dropping it off at the office. The physicians cannot sign the form until that front part is completed. Then the form will ready to be picked up in 1-3 business days. Still have questions? Give us a call.

Do you have a kid that lives in the pool or is your family going on a lake vacation before the end of the summer? Swimmer’s ear infections (or an outer ear infection) can be prevented with this easy homemade ear rinse from Dr. Jantzer: Mix ½ part white vinegar and ½ part rubbing alcohol in a clean dropper bottle. Put a few drops of the mixture into each ear after swimming. Ok to use daily if swimming every day. If your kid progresses to pain with ear movement or soreness that lasts beyond a day, make an appointment further evaluation as they may need antibiotic drops.
