othing concerns a parent more than the well-being of their child. Assuring that your child grows up strong and healthy requires diligence and constant care which requires up-to-date knowledge. That’s why it’s important that you be able to trust your caregiver to provide a superior level of medical services: one that employs the latest thinking and technology and one that takes into account your child’s specific needs.

The "one-size-fits-all" approach does not work in pediatrics. In our practice we view your child is an individual, with a unique personality and needs. We also recognize that your child is part of a family. And that family has its own unique regimen and cultural beliefs. School, work, sports and other activities must also be taken into account.

For newborns, we recommend you see your pediatric professional on a regular schedule beginning a few days after birth, again between two weeks and one month old, and then at the second month, the fourth month, sixth month, ninth month, twelfth month, fifteenth and eighteenth month. Annual visits should begin at 2 years of age. Of course, any opportunistic or chronic illness (like asthma or allergies) should be monitored on a regular basis.

The "one-size -fits-all" approach does not work in pediatrics.

During these visits you should discuss any nutritional guidelines the doctor may offer. They are important particularly if obesity or food allergies are involved. We assess breastfeeding for mother and baby at each well-care visit. If you wish, complete diet guidelines can be provided for infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers, school-aged, or teenaged children as appropriate for their individual development.

We will also recommend a series of standard immunizations as well as others depending on your family’s history.

Milestones will be assessed at each developmental stage during each well-care visit to assure that your child is on track to the best of health.
