Pediatrics

Our pediatric specialists promote the health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents. They have expertise in evaluating newborn development and treating common childhood illnesses as well as identifying and addressing genetic issues and behavioral concerns. Children are not just smaller versions of adults, so appropriate choice of medications and other treatment techniques can be completely different. Children are minors and cannot make medical decisions for themselves, so the pediatrician must be able to communicate effectively to both the child and the parents, and sometimes the whole family.
