Pediatric Consultations ages Birth to 25
Just because they are young, doesn't mean they aren't struggling.
Children today are more commonly diagnosed with autism, ADHD, POTS, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, obesity and cancer, just to name a few.
How does that get handled in a 20 minute well-child visit?
It doesn't.
In the midst of complex care, we can often neglect some of the most important aspects of a comprehensive health plan.
A Pediatric Consult is an opportunity to discuss and improve upon your strategies for your child or teen's specific challenges. Specific "tricks of the trade" and implementing healthier lifestyles are as important as medication management.
I salute you if you have a great plan or if your primary care pediatrician is available to help. If not, consider a consult.
Children are resilient
even in the face of difficult diagnoses or chronic issues.
