Pediatrics

Because our pediatricians work with so many aspects of children’s health, they’re highly trained in assessing, detecting, preventing, and managing issues that affect children. Their goal is to help keep children healthy by regularly checking their growth and development, as well as helping prevent illness by giving vaccinations and general health advice.

As your child’s primary care provider, a pediatrician can:

• Diagnose and treat your child’s illnesses, infections, injuries, and other health problems
• Give your child all the necessary immunizations that can help protect them from serious diseases
• Guide you in anticipating your child’s needs through the years
• Complete physical exams
• Make sure your child is meeting milestones in growth, behavior, and skills
• Give you information about your child’s health, safety, nutrition, and fitness needs
• Answer your questions about your little one’s growth and development
• Refer you to specialists if they think your child needs expert care
