Pediatrics

As a parent, you naturally want the best health care possible for your child. When you select their physician, consider whether that physician has specialized in the treatment of children. Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that comprises the care and treatment of the diseases of childhood as well as the study of normal growth.

You will want to select a physician who has experience and knowledge with a number of infectious diseases that are most often seen in childhood. These include recurrent ear infections, mumps, measles, whooping cough, and croup. Many of these diseases can be prevented by immunization, which is another major responsibility of your child's physician.

Your child's physician will also monitor the normal growth and development of your child according to important motor and intellectual milestones. Early recognition and correction of developmental delays is of prime importance. Your physician must be alert for disorders that usually first become apparent in childhood, such as allergies, immune deficiency diseases, and epilepsy.

Remember, your child's physician is your partner in the good health and necessary for monitoring the proper development of your child.
