Information for parents of supported children
Visits
Visits are carried out by appointment, in order to avoid long stays in the waiting room, which are poorly tolerated by children, especially if they are ill, as well as possible infections.
Urgent visits are always possible during the opening hours of the practice but always by appointment.
Contacts
For pediatric advice or pathology appointments you can call or send a message on WhatsApp to the tel. 351 375 8495 (Dr. Butturini answers); if it is not possible to reply at the moment you will be called back as soon as possible, the same goes for messages.
We ask you to kindly call during study hours only if you believe you have a real emergency. Do not send voice messages or use text messages, they will not be read.
Email is a convenient tool for the agreed upon sending of documents, it can be used to request periodic appointments or for health assessments, to request certificates and prescriptions (drugs, laboratory tests, specialist visits, etc.).
It cannot be used for: urgent communications for pathologies, requests for appointments for pathologies.

Tips for using the telephone
In the telephone conversation with your pediatrician, who receives numerous calls every day, be clear, as brief as possible, say your child’s name and surname.
Keep a pen and paper handy to write down and keep the doctor’s suggestions; If the child is already taking medications, write down the name and doses so you can report them.
If something in the pediatrician’s instructions is not clear, feel free to ask him to repeat it.
If you think you have an emergency, call the pediatrician or send a message via WhatsApp, as short as possible, non-vocal.
Thanks for collaboration
