Email: I have been providing email access for free for over 10 years now.  However, I am now at a point where this service, and my generosity of spirit, is often being taken for granted.  I prefer now to connect  with my patients and families over social media, including Facebook and Twitter.  Through those venues, I can answer general health questions and we can keep the specifics of your child's health to private phone conversations or office visits.

However, you are still able to email me at jenny@drjen4kids.com as long as you agree to abide by the rules outlined below.  If these rules are not followed, your email will not be answered.  Email sent through the site is not encrypted. 

  • Please try calling the office first.  The nature of email really is often not conducive to the dialogue we need to have in order to answer your questions appropriately.

  • No urgent questions.  I will not be held responsible for emails sent in emergency situations.  Common sense hopefully says that email is not appropriate for emergencies.  Call the office.  Someone answers the phone 24 hours a day.  In case of life-threatening emergencies, call 911

  • If you have "sick kid" questions, it's hard for me to do those justice over email. Please search the site and if you don't find the answer, call the office. The majority of sick kids emails result in a visit, so it's just more efficient if you call.

  • For legal reasons (mostly because I assume a HUGE risk if I answer questions on kids I've never met) you or your child needs to be a registered member in my practice at Lakeshore Medical Clinic, a blood relative or a good friend.  The content on this site is intended for my patients, but anyone may enjoy it.  If you send a message anyway, please realize it will not likely get answered.

  • If you don't get an answer in a day or two, send it again.  Sometimes I do answer and I'm blocked by SPAM filters- please make sure, if you want my answer, to add me to a safe senders list.  And please realize I'm human and some days I just can't get to email.

  • Most rashes will need to be seen at some point and it's really hard to describe them over email, so just call the office. No rashes over email!  Sending pictures of the rash is a neat idea, but will not substitute for a visit.  Please do not send them.

  • Please let me know how old your child is or include their birthday. I need this not only to answer your question, but to authenticate the email.

  • Please do not request that I call in prescriptions without seeing your child or suggest that email can substitute for a visit. That is simply not good medical practice and I will not honor those requests.

  • Please be nice :) I'm not kidding about this. If you choose to yell at me over email, I reserve the right not to answer.
