Regular office hours are from 8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday.  In general, we try to take lunch from noon to 1:00pm.  To schedule an appointment, call our regular office number.  Same-day appointments are available for patients requiring urgent attention and walk-ins are accepted (however we do recommend calling first).  Walk-ins may be asked to wait while pre-scheduled patients are seen.

We understand that sometimes your schedule may be unpredictable, especially where a child's involved! We do request that cancellations be made at least an hour in advance so that we can offer your appointment to another family. 

Patients who arrive late may be asked to wait depending on how busy the office is.  Late arrivals for well checks or physicals (i.e. non-urgent visits) may be asked to reschedule for another date.  "No-showing", or missing an appointment without cancelling, is strongly discouraged.  Repeated no-shows may lead to discharge from our practice.

Dr. Bassett is an attending physician at Putnam General Hospital in Eatonton, and maintains full admitting privileges there.  If your child requires inpatient admission, Dr. Bassett will personally admit your child, perform all daily progress exams and keep in close contact with the staff at PGH to ensure a rapid recovery.

If Dr. Bassett refers your child to the emergency department after hours, he will also ensure that your child's case is handled by the ER physicians with diligence and efficiency.  More complicated cases requiring prolonged hospital stays or specialized services are usually transferred by Dr. Bassett to a larger facility with more expanded pediatric services.
