Hilliard Pediatrics has been serving the Central Ohio community for over 30 years. At Hilliard Pediatrics, we believe in treating each child as an individual. We strive to maximize each child's health within their unique circumstances. Our team is committed offering excellent care and advice when your child is sick or well.
Under our protocols section you will find a number of articles addressing common childhood illnesses and injuries. These protocols were written by our physicians and are a great resource for our families. Under our resources tab you can find more about childhood vaccinations, a list of referrals and commonly requested forms. In addition the resources found on our website, we have pediatric trained nurses available during regular business hours to provide advice or schedule your child for an appointment with one of our providers if necessary.
Walk-In Hour Process - Please check-in from your car
When you arrive at our office, please sign-up using the following link: Walk-In Registration. You will remain in your car and a staff member will call to check you in over the phone. In order to be as fair as possible, walkins now have geofencing which will require you to be at the office and share your location in order to register. As a reminder walk-ins are for acute illness only. Chronic/ongoing conditions typically take more time and are best addressed at a scheduled visit, preferrably with your child's PCP.
Influenza and COVID Vaccines 2024-2025 Season
Our 2024-2025 Influenza and COVID vaccines have arrived! These vaccines are only available for active patients of Hilliard Pediatrics. To learn more about the 2024-2025 Seasonal COVID vaccine, please visit our dedicated page here. There are 3 options for patients to receive their seasonal flu and/or COVID vaccine this year:
- Vaccine Clinic - please see the list below for dates and times. In order to schedule an appointment, please call the office (option 2) or text 614-500-4045. For text messaging, please includ your child(ren)'s name, DOB, your relationship to the child, preferred date/time and which vaccine(s) you would like to schedule for.
- Scheduled routine appointment - if your child already has an appointment scheduled, they can receive the vaccine at their appointment. Unfortunately we are not able to offer vaccine only appointments outside of our clinic times or administer vaccines during walk-ins.
- Sibling's appointment - if you are bringing a child in for a regularly scheduled appointment you can bring your other children in at the same time to receive their flu and/or COVID vaccine.

To learn more about this drug along with details on who it is recommended for and insurance coverage, please check out our dedicated page here.

Expecting a Baby?
Congratulations! Choosing a pediatrician for your child is a very important decision. Before your baby arrives, we recommend scheduling a prenatal visit.

Walk-In Hours Details
We do not offer walk-ins on Saturdays.
Walk-in Hours: 8:00 am - 9:00 am
You must register for walk-ins when you arrive and remain in your car until a staff member calls to check you in over the phone.
These visits are for "acute" issues that can be readily evaluated during our walk-in hours such as sore throat, earache, pink eye, cough, and a rash. Headaches, stomach aches, chronic coughs, and other complex issues are best dealt with at a scheduled appointment.
Walk-ins are busiest on Mondays and Fridays, especially during the cold and flu season from December through March. Patients are seen on a first come first served basis, so you can maximize your chances of being seen by arriving close to 8:00 am. Those patients that are unable to be seen will be scheduled for a sick appointment later in the day if appointments are still available.
Patient Portal
Through our patient portal, you can access your child's immunization history, request prescription refills, pay your bill, and send non-urgent medical questions.
