Welcome to the Maple
Avenue Pediatrics web page!
News and announcements:
We wish to welcome all our new and current patients and
encourage you to utilize our Maple Avenue Pediatrics Web Site. If you are
visiting our practice for the first time, use these helpful links to review the
HIPAA
Privacy Policy. You can then print an Acknowledgement
of Receipt of Privacy Policy, New
Patient Form and Child’s
Health History form, complete them at your leisure and bring them with you
for your first visit. This will help to save time before your visit with the
doctor.
Fall has begun! We
have the flu vaccine in stock and encourage all of our patients to make an
appointment to receive it. Now is also
the time for student-teacher conferences.
If your child having educational concerns, please call us to schedule a
consultation.
We have also begun to offer Gardasil to boys ages 12 and
up. This vaccine has already been given
for several years to girls. The vaccine
provides protection against the 4 subtypes of Human Papillomavirus with the
largest disease burden. It is a 3 dose
series in which the second dose is given 2 months after the first dose and the
third dose is given six months after the first one. In boys the vaccine protects against genital,
oral, and anal warts and cancers. It
will also protect against the transmission of HPV to females where it can cause
cervical cancer. Please note that Oxford and United Health Care are not covering
this vaccine for boys. We recommend that
you contact your insurance carrier regarding this issue. You always have the option of paying
out-of-pocket the $190 to administer this vaccine.

- Please check with your insurance company prior to all physicals
whether you have a co-pay for well visits.
Also please check prior to all visits which laboratory your
insurance uses.
- The NJSIAA has issued a new Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Exam Form that is required for participation in any Junior High and High School sports programs. If your child is age 10 and older, is scheduled for a physical exam, and is going to participate in any sports in the upcoming year, you must click on the link above, print out the form, and fill out your sections of the form PRIOR to coming to the office. These forms are quite thorough and need to be reviewed by the doctor. Also, please speak to your school administrators about whether a vision screen is required for sports clearance. There will be a $10 charge for each of these forms. If you do not request a sports form at the time of your child’s physical, there will be a $20 fee to have one done at a later time.
