Bayshore Pediatrics wants your opinion
If you have been a patient family of ours for more than a year, you may have seen the surveys that we hand out for feedback in October. In receiving the feedback, we asked the question – why do we only ask one time a year, why not year around? We want to know that we are serving our families with the best possible care year around and if not, how can we improve. We have developed a feedback form that will be available on our blog and website year around. The survey can now be found under Resources – Feedback Form: A Survey about your visit.
We look foward to the feedback, it is important to us and we thank you for it.

Introducing Dr. Beth Silver
Dr. Bencik has had her baby – we are so excited for her. In order to continue provinding quality care for her patients during her maternity leave, we would like to introduce Dr. Beth Silver as a covering physician. Dr. Silver joins us temporarily for the next month. She was previously serving patients at the Children’s Hospital Emergency Department as a triage physician.
If you are calling for an illness, we will schedule patients with her as well as the other physicians at Bayshore Pediatrics. If you are calling with a question, we will continue to take a message and one of the physicians will return your call.

H1N1 and Seasonal Flu Vaccine
It seems that this is the only topic we have been posting lately and it has been a few days since the last post. We are hopeful to get back to parenting and helpful topics soon. Thank you to everyone for their continued patience during this time.
First, we would like to provide information related to the seasonal flu vaccine. At this time, we have received the remainder of our shipment of seasonal flu injectable vaccine for children 3 years and up. We continue to have seasonal flu vaccine for under 3. We no longer have the seasonal nasal spray available. If you are interested in receiving the seasonal flu vaccine for your child that is 3 years and up, it is important to schedule at this time as we cannot guarantee supply beyond the next two weeks.

Appreciation of having vaccine
I want to thank all of you who have been reading the blog and checking here for whether we have doses of the H1N1 vaccine. It has already been a long “winter” for our staff at Bayshore Pediatrics. Our reception and nursing staff have gone above and beyond their roles to ensure that we can get the vaccine out as soon as possible. We must have a vaccine fairy for we have been lucky in our acquisition of this vaccine. We have had so many calls from families who see other pediatricians who choose not to get the vaccine or have not received it. It is hard to say no to these families, but we are trying to get it to all of our patients as quickly as possible.
Our front staff is fielding over 1000 phone calls a day. They are doing this while still trying to care for and get the patients who are sick, in to see us. Please remember to be patient. They are already stretched and doing as much as they can, so understand when your wait on the phone may be a little longer then normal or when they may say, “I’m sorry we don’t have the vaccine at this time.”
It would be great for their spirits to just say thank you to them. They often take the brunt of the phone calls from frustrated parents. Please let them that it is not only the physicians who appreciate what they are doing, but also you our patients and families. It will make their day a little easier to hear many thank yous.
And to you our patients, thank you for being patient and working with us during this busy time. Your child’s health is always our primary concern. By working together, we can all come through this difficult season healthy.
