Outpatient Clinic Appointments

Click here for information on what to bring to your child's appointment.

How Long Will It Take?

The first visit to Shriners Hospital can last approximately 3 to 4 hours in order for our medical team to provide a thorough evaluation of your child. Please be prepared to spend a few hours in the hospital. Toys for the children are provided in the waiting room, along with magazines and books.

Often, volunteers with the "Humor Cart" are in the waiting room to provide activities and laughter for our patients. Although examination rooms have magazines, chalkboards and some toys, you may also wish to have toys or books of your own to pass the time.

What Happens Next?

You may be given a return appointment to come to one of our specialty clinics.
