Questions
Frequently asked.
Can my child’s laceration be repaired at home?
Often, yes. Many cuts in children can be cleaned and closed at home with sutures, staples, or tissue adhesive. Dr. Gildin reviews each injury first, and a parent or legal guardian provides consent for any patient under 18. Some injuries are better treated in a hospital, and if that’s the case for your child, he’ll tell you right away.
How much does a visit cost?
Typical fees run from about $400 for basic wound care to $650–$1,200 for a sutured repair. Tissue adhesive and scalp staples are about $500 each. A reservation and evaluation fee, typically $100, is collected once your visit is accepted. Your final fee depends on the injury, location, and time of day, and is confirmed with you before treatment. See Pricing.
Do you accept insurance?
No. I’ll Have You In Stitches is a direct-pay medical service, and insurance is not billed. You receive an itemized statement after your visit. Whether your plan reimburses any part of it is between you and your insurer.
How quickly can you arrive?
It depends on Dr. Gildin’s availability, your location, and the time of day. We can’t promise a specific response or arrival time. When you text, you’ll hear whether a visit is possible and roughly when. If a wound can’t wait, go to the nearest emergency department.
What happens if I need an emergency department?
Some injuries need a hospital. Examples include bleeding that won’t stop with pressure, very deep or heavily contaminated wounds, wounds with numbness or loss of movement, many animal or human bites, and any injury with a head strike, fainting, or other trauma. If Dr. Gildin thinks you need emergency care, during screening or at the visit, he’ll tell you directly and help you understand why.
This service is not a substitute for emergency medical care. For severe bleeding, major trauma, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, or other potentially life-threatening emergencies, call 911 or seek emergency department care immediately.
