  • Dr. Julie Sweeney sees infants, children and teens. Pediatric integrative medicine is rooted in preventive health and therefore our care is important as early as prenatal visits.

  • Dr. Sweeney is delighted to join your child’s pediatric care team as a specialty consultant. Our integrative pediatric practice is designed to enhance your child’s pediatric care, not replace it. Each child must have a personal primary care physician for routine and urgent care.

  • Dr. Julie Sweeney is an “out of network” provider and does not bill insurance directly. Families with out of network coverage are able to be reimbursed for services by submitting our invoice with specific coding to their insurance company. This is often called a “superbill”. For many insurance companies this can easily be done online.

    To find out about coverage, call the patient number on the back of your insurance card and ask:

    • Does my child have out of network coverage for physician services?

    • Do I have an out of network deductible to meet?

    • How do I submit claims for reimbursement?

    We also encourage you to use your flexible spending or health savings account (FSA/HSA) card for our services.

  • We accept debit or credit card payments. You are welcome to use your FSA or HSA card. We require each family to have a valid credit card on file when you book your first appointment. You are responsible for the full cost of the visit at the time of service.

  • Dr. Sweeney is delighted to be able to hold space in her calendar just for you, so please be sure to make changes with at least 24-48 hour advance notice. A fee of $100 will be charged for changes made less than 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment time.
