Expert Care for Your Child’s Everyday Health Needs
Our highly skilled pediatricians and family medicine physicians take care of all of your child’s health needs through a wide range of services, including:
- Well-child visits. These regular appointments keep an eye on your child’s growth and development. Since children grow so quickly, it is important that you schedule these visits so your child’s doctor can catch and treat any health problems early.
- Get-to-Know-You visits. Choosing a doctor to care for your child is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make. We are offer Get-to-Know-You visits for parents and expecting parents looking for a provider for their children with our highly skilled primary care physicians. These free 20-minute visits allow you to meet with a physician to determine if they are a good match for you and your family. Call the physician's office directly to schedule a 'Get to Know You’ visit.
- Sports physicals. To participate in many league sports, your child must have a yearly physical exam. During these visits, your child’s doctor makes sure your child is healthy enough for his or her sport and talks with you about any safety concerns.
- Sick and acute care visits. If your child is sick, we provide quick care to help him or her feel better. We diagnose conditions and give your child the medicines or other treatments that he or she needs.
- Chronic disease management. Our primary care doctors help you manage your child’s chronic conditions, such as asthma, allergies, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Type 2 diabetes, through personalized treatment plans. Regular checkups and tests ensure your child’s treatment plan continues to work well.
- Prescription refills. Our doctors offer convenient prescription refills to help your child manage chronic conditions.
- Flu shots. Each year, your child should receive a flu shot to help protect him or her throughout flu season. Children often have more severe problems with the flu than adults, such as a higher risk of pneumonia.
- Immunizations. Your child will need many different immunizations as he or she grows in order to stay well. Our nurses will help you stay on track with your child’s vaccination schedule.
- Vision and hearing screenings. Children should receive regular vision and hearing screenings to identify any problems. If your child has an undiagnosed hearing or vision problem, he or she may not be able to learn or behave as well as other children.
