Pediatrics
As a parent, you make important decisions for your child's health and well-being every day. Among those decisions is choosing a pediatrician.
Pediatricians are doctors who specialize in caring for children from infancy through young adulthood. This is the doctor your child will see for routine check-ups, immunizations, treatment for common illnesses and care of chronic conditions.
