Board Certified Pediatricians represent the highest level of medical care you can choose for your child. Pediatricians are specialists and advocates for children, devoting themselves to the medical care for your child, from birth through eighteen years.

     Every Pediatrician has spent at least three years after medical school learning about the care of infants, children, and adolescents. Other non-pediatric physicians may have only spent as little as three months in training in pediatrics. 

     Pediatricians are specialists in Child Development, Preventive Medicine, Child and Adolescent Behavioral, and Psychological care.

     Children are not just little adults. They have special needs both in sickness and in health, as they develop. Children are changing all the time, and as they change, many parents need advice and reassurance. Pediatricians discuss these changes and help parents anticipate normal development. They also direct the care of developmental problems and coordinate continuing care for children with chronic illness and disability. 

     Pediatricians have been at the forefront of preventive medicine, using vaccines to decrease or eliminate the threat of illnesses such as polio, whooping cough, measles, chicken pox, and bacterial meningitis. Despite this, however, children can and do get seriously ill. When children are sick, their symptoms can be misidentified or missed all together. Pediatricians are experts at identifying and treating illnesses in children of all ages. 

     Pediatricians identify and treat behavioral and developmental problems in children. A pediatrician can help when your toddler or child can't tell you what is wrong, or when your teenager won't. Pediatricians understand the importance of listening to your child, and to you.
