Well-Child Visits
Regular check-ups are essential for monitoring your child’s growth, development, and overall health. During these visits, our pediatricians assess physical and developmental milestones, provide guidance on nutrition and safety, and administer recommended vaccinations.

Same-Day Sick Appointments
We understand that illnesses can arise unexpectedly. CMG offers same-day sick appointments to ensure your child receives prompt medical attention for acute conditions such as fevers, ear infections, sore throats, and minor injuries.

After-Hours Clinic (Jackson Location Only)
For added convenience, our Jackson office operates an After-Hours Clinic for established CMG patients requiring same-day sick visits:

  • Weekday Evenings: Appointments begin at 5:30 PM, with scheduling available from 4:00 PM.
  • Weekends: Appointments begin at 9:00 AM, with scheduling available from 8:00 AM.

Please note that the After-Hours Clinic is by appointment only and is closed on Easter, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Immunizations are a critical component of preventive healthcare. CMG follows the immunization schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics to protect children against various infectious diseases.
