Why your child needs a pediatrician
Pediatricians are devoted to children’s health – Pediatricians are specially trained for 3 extra years in pediatrics only. Family practice physicians are only trained in pediatrics for 3 months. Children’s health care needs are very different from adults’. Pediatricians are trained to prevent and manage health problems in newborns, infants, children, teens and young adults.
​
Why does my child need annual well check-ups?
-
Dr. Dowse Says: “Parents often ask me why their children should have a well visit. I answer them by sharing with them the time when I diagnosed the high-school athlete with a potential life-threatening arrhythmia; or the 2 yr old who was found to have a malignant tumor; or the 5 yr old who was found to be in early stage diabetes. They all seemed perfectly healthy. You can’t be too careful. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of the annual check-up. It is our best tool for early detection and continued good health.”
-
Staying on top of your child’s well exam can ensure complete healthcare at their sick appointments. Our Providers stress the importance of a full medical history. Each child is unique and that is why it can be difficult to properly diagnosis a child when they are sick, without a baseline of when they are well.
-
Annual well exams are FREE for insured patients
-
An annual well exam is the best insurance you can provide for your child’s health
-
