and office staff at Coastal Pediatric Associates operate on your schedule. Te offices – there are two, one in Mount Pleasant and another in West Ashley – are open seven days a week for well and sick visits and are on call 24 hours to answer questions and offer advice when you are worried in the wee hours. And Monday through Tursday, the offices open at 7 a.m. and don’t close until 8 p.m. – 9 p.m. in West Ashley – a boon to working parents. “We’re the only pediatrics practice open seven days,” Dr. Elizabeth Kirlis said,

Pediatric Associates offers a virtual “office” online with a patient portal for making appointments and requesting medication refills or copies of records, as well as health news and information for new parents. You can also meet the doctors online to learn more about their specialties. With 20 providers on staff, one is bound to be a perfect fit.
