Exciting Moves Happening in Pediatrics Department

Wednesday, December 24, 2025

When your child needs immediate care, and can't wait for regularly scheduled appointment, Watson Clinic's Pediatrics department proudly offers same-day availability with FAST Access!

Here's how it works:

Call 863-680-7337 (North Pediatrics and South locations) or 863-607-3346 (Highlands) for a same or next day appointment with a pediatrician.
Your appointment will be scheduled with the first available pediatric specialist at the location of your choosing.

Meanwhile, Saturday sick visit appointments are now available exclusively from our Watson Clinic Highlands location from 8:30 am to 12 pm. Saturday sick visits cannot be scheduled in advance and must be made on the day by calling any of the following department numbers: 863-607-3346, 863-680-7337 or 863-647-8012.

Pediatrician Dr. Jolie Szocki now treats patients exclusively from Watson Clinic South, where she offers same-day appointment availability for sick visits. Dr. Jason Cornett, Dr. Kendra Velez Rodriguez and registered nurse practitioner Ariel Vulgamore, APRN will remain at Watson Clinic North Pediatrics full-time.
