One dedicated seat for the academic year. A board-certified pediatrician based right in Blacksburg who already knows them.
Academic Year Enrollment
Comprehensive coverage from August through May. Direct physician access, same-day visits in town, structured check-ins, and ongoing coordination with your hometown physician.
Strictly Capped Panel
Maintained at a small enough size to guarantee real, same-day availability when acute illness hits during the semester.
Inside the year
Office visits, usually same-day. Direct physician text access. Proactive check-ins around holidays, midterms, and finals. Seamless clinical updates to the hometown physician. Complete medication continuity. Assistance with university, housing, athletics, and travel health forms. Telehealth visits when an in-person room is not required.
Outside the year
Emergency department visits, hospitalizations, specialty care, and advanced imaging (we help arrange and coordinate these). Note: This website is not a medical chart. Membership is not health insurance; please maintain primary coverage for labs, specialists, and hospital care.
Preventing a single unnecessary ER visit covers years of membership.
College health panics rarely happen during convenient hours. A midnight fever, severe asthma flare, or allergic reaction often sends students straight to the emergency room—resulting in a massive out-of-pocket bill, even with insurance.
Instead of heading straight to the hospital for an issue a local pediatrician can easily handle, your student can text a doctor who actually knows their baseline and get evaluated same-day right in Blacksburg.
Questions parents ask
How does it start?
A parent usually reaches out first, and we schedule an introductory phone call. Once enrolled, your student meets their pediatrician in Blacksburg for an unhurried baseline visit before classes get hectic. After that, they have direct access.
How soon can they be seen?
Same week, and usually same day. Because our patient panel is strictly capped, we maintain immediate availability even during high-stress exam windows.
Will you share my student's information with me?
At 18, your student is legally the owner of their medical chart. Before care begins, we work together to establish a clear, agreed-upon communication plan so you are kept in the loop without violating their adult privacy. Their hometown doctor receives a clinical update that same afternoon.
Does this replace insurance?
No. Membership is not insurance. Please keep your student's primary coverage active for hospitalizations, emergency care, specialized testing, and labs.
What if my student is away from Blacksburg?
In-person care right here in Blacksburg is the core of our practice. We also offer telehealth consultations when an in-person visit isn't necessary.
What if it's an emergency?
Always call 911 or head to the nearest emergency room. Once they are safe, let us know and we will seamlessly coordinate their follow-up care.
