Pediatricians are trained to treat the medical needs of children, addressing their physical and emotional health through all stages of childhood.
They are trained to:
- Monitor and support your child’s healthy development
- Help prevent illness and injuries through guidance, health screening and immunizations
- Recognize symptoms in newborns and young children that may be different from those in adults
- Diagnose and treat medical conditions
- Make referrals to more specialized care when needed
- Help you create a healthy environment and make informed decisions for your children
