Our Pediatrics Department provides specialized medical care for infants, children, and adolescents, focusing on growth, development, and overall well-being. From routine checkups and immunizations to managing chronic conditions, our pediatricians are dedicated to ensuring your child’s health and happiness through every stage of life.
Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends people seek pediatric care up to the age of 21.
Pediatricians focus on the physical, emotional, and social health of children from birth through young adulthood. This includes preventive health care as well as diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases.
Well-child visits are scheduled appointments that focus on keeping children healthy. These visits include:
Vaccinations help protect children from serious diseases. The CDC recommends this schedule for most children:
Begins to smile at people, can briefly calm self, tries to look at parent
Responds to sounds by making sounds, strings vowels together, responds to own name
Explores things in different ways, finds hidden things easily, looks at the right picture when named
Stands on tiptoe, kicks a ball, begins to run, climbs onto and down from furniture without help
Enjoys doing new things, plays "mom" and "dad", would rather play with other children than alone

Both pediatricians and family doctors can provide excellent care for children. Pediatricians have specialized training exclusively in children's health from birth through adolescence, while family doctors treat patients of all ages. The choice often comes down to personal preference, but pediatricians may be preferred for complex childhood conditions or developmental concerns.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends regular well-child visits at specific intervals: more frequently during the first two years (at 3-5 days, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, and 24 months) and annually from age 3 through adolescence. Additional visits may be needed for acute illnesses or chronic conditions.
If you have concerns about your child's development, schedule an appointment with your pediatrician. They can perform developmental screenings and refer you to specialists if needed. Early intervention is important for addressing developmental delays, so don't hesitate to discuss your concerns with your healthcare provider.
According to the CDC, FDA, and American Academy of Pediatrics, vaccines are extensively tested for safety and effectiveness before approval. The recommended childhood immunization schedule is designed to protect children when they are most vulnerable to serious diseases. While vaccines can cause side effects like mild fever or soreness, serious reactions are rare. The benefits of vaccination in preventing serious illnesses far outweigh the risks.
Go to the emergency room for potentially life-threatening conditions such as difficulty breathing, severe dehydration, seizures, unconsciousness, severe injuries, or suspected poisoning. For non-emergency concerns like mild fevers, cold symptoms, ear pain, or routine illnesses, contact your pediatrician during office hours. Many pediatric practices also offer after-hours advice lines for guidance.
