Services

Our pediatric facility is dedicated to its patients and their families. It is without question that being a parent is life’s most challenging work. As your child’s pediatricians, we embrace a philosophy of focusing on the child’s existence within a child-parent dyad. As we care for the child’s well-being, we also care for the parent’s well-being. We are ready to be a source of help, care and love from the time of your child’s birth to the time of their transition to young adulthood. We hope to accomplish this by delivering a broad range of services with sensitivity to the individual needs of our patients and their families.

The Allergy and Asthma Network provides useful information for patients with asthma.

Developmental Screenings

Developmental screenings are important because if there is a delay in development and it is not recognized early, it can be hard for them to learn when they start school. Most recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics has strongly recommended the use of formal developmental screenings at the ages of 9 months, 18 months and 30 months. Doctors and nurses use developmental screenings to tell if children are learning basic skills when they should, or if they might have problems. The screening will help tell if you child needs referrals for speech, physical, and/or occupational therapies. See www.cdc.gov/actearly for more information.
