Welcome

 Specialty of   Pediatrics 

        We care for children from birth through adolescence and into young adulthood.We have separate sick and well waiting areas. Our practice is geared toward meeting the entire spectrum of health care needs for your children 

            Some of the problems we can help you with are: Allergies, Asthma, School Learning Problems and ADHD,  Breast Feeding , Child Nutrition Developmental Problems , Sports Injuries.  As your Pediatricians, we hope that we will be the primary source of medical advice about your infant, child, or adolescent. Each of us is Board Certified in Pediatrics. We are familiar with all the referral resources in our area for children and can direct your child to the appropriate specialist when it is needed. We consider ourselves to be your local community physicians,  with the resources able to take care of all your children’s needs.  Because of what we do, we have the opportunity to bring change, to educate, to invigorate, to advocate  and to make a difference. That is why “Pediatrics “ is so different than other areas of medicine. Since we have been practicing for quite some time, we feel fully equipped to deal with the issues and concerns that parents pose to us on a daily basis.  We  love providing reassurance and anticipatory guidance for our new and established patients. In fact many of the issues parents bring up today are not new...they are similar to ones that existed in 1979. These issues or concerns include: when to start solids, when to take a newborn outside or to visit family,  breast-feeding questions/concerns, what type of formula is best for my infant, are they ready to go back to playing their sport after an injury, what type of milk to drink, how to help a child who is a picky eater?  As you become more knowledgeable about health and your child from information on the Internet, we must also continue to keep up with all the latest trends, issues and challenges that you face. 

In addition we face the continuous challenge of recognizing and dealing with new infections in the world and our community. Instead of dealing with chickenpox or measles, we see Swine Flu, MRSA, food borne illnesses, tick borne diseases, and new forms of diarrheal diseases. 

Over the last 50 years smoking has decreased but we still see illness due to secondary smoke. We have new environmental hazards that worry us and you parents, BPAs, lead in toys, mercury in fish,  pesticides.

Our primary job as your pediatrician is to help you identify what will work for you and your children-and how it changes as your child gets older.  There are lot of different ways to feed a baby/child, to deal with sleeping, discipline, school, media, communication and teenage issues just to name a few. Our goal is to help you wade through all of this to make your child as healthy and successful as he/she can be and make you the best parents you can be.   

Our practice of Pediatrics continues to change and we are changing with it. We continue to learn and educate ourselves to deal with all the new 21st century issues, and all the old common problems. We will keep on educating ourselves to keep up with the new skills required to be a cutting edge Pediatric Practice in this new century.    We also strive to manage and run an efficient office that is responsive to your concerns.

We know that our office is easy for you to access and use.    We are honored that you have chosen us to be that pediatrician for your child/ren and we will respect that commitment. If you have any questions, comments or concerns about our office please don’t hesitate to speak to one of us about it. We are always looking at ways of improving the care that we give to our patients.  Welcome to our practice!!!
