Dr. Albert Holloway has been a pediatrician in our Montgomery, AL, office for over 40 years. Payne and Holloway Pediatrics became his sole practice in 2017 after Dr. Gillis Payne turned it over to him. Dr. Holloway is looking forward to your visit to discuss any questions you may have regarding office procedures for sick visits.
It may be hard to guess whether your child may be sick, especially when they are young. Young children can't voice how they feel, so as a parent, it's important to know when to call our doctor for an appointment.
