NewBorn Care

When you come home with a new baby it is exciting, but sometimes it can be confusing and scary, too. For first time parent, taking care of newborns is a struggle to cater to many needs, like frequent feedings, diaper changes, etc. New born babies health care issues are quite different from older children and adults, like diaper rash and cradle cap.

We expect you to bring your baby in a week for a checkup and we want to ensure that all your baby’s health care concerns are addressed.

Your baby will go through many changes during the first year of life and we will make sure all the babiy’s milestones are on track. Please feel to ask our health care providers for help if you need it. For some helpful hints to stressed out parents, visit the Mayo Clinic website.

Well Care

To help kids and teens grow into healthy adults, it is recommend that they have regular well-child exams. During the “well visits” we monitor growth, nourishment, and physical, developmental, and emotional progress. These visits are an important tool that we use to screen for medical and developmental issues. Apart from the checkups, it is important to get your child vaccinated to prevent them from the impacts of deadly viruses. Our office administers vaccines as per the AAP recommendations.

Kids who participate in competitive sports need to have their annual physical. Before the start of the school year is the perfect time to make sure your child is fit for the appropriate sport.

We encourage you to book appointments for well visits. To accommodate the sick patients, we limit the number of well appointments on week days. Should you have further questions, please contact us.

Sick Care

Sick care needs of children are very different from adults. Accidents happen. So does illness. We understand tough times that parents go through when their little ones are sick or injured. When your children become sick, sometimes it can be difficult to tell how serious it is and you may not know if you should choose an emergency department or urgent care. To take care of your needs, same-day appointments are usually available so that children may be evaluated promptly. Our office opens late on some days to take care of your sick child’s needs.
