Pediatrics Q & A

What is pediatrics?

Pediatrics is a branch of medicine that provides comprehensive health care for infants, children, and teenagers. 

At Texas Primary & Pediatric Care, the team provides a variety of pediatric services on-site, including physical exams, well child visits, vaccinations, acute care for illnesses and injuries, and diagnoses and treatment of chronic disease. 

What services does pediatrics provide?

The team at Texas Primary & Pediatric Care offers various pediatric services, including:

Newborn visits

A newborn visit is a routine check-up used to monitor your baby’s health. This type of appointment typically occurs about a week after giving birth. During a newborn visit, your provider assesses your baby’s health, answers any questions you have, and coordinates additional care when necessary.

Well-child exams

A well-child exam is a routine physical used to monitor the health and well-being of your child. Kids develop rapidly during their first five years of life. Routine exams can ensure your child is meeting all benchmarks. It can also alert you to potentially serious health problems that don’t present obvious symptoms.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations, or immunizations, “teach” your child’s immune system to identify harmful pathogens. This triggers the production of antibodies that serve as a defense if your child becomes sick. Some of the most common vaccinations include Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio, Pneumococcal, H. influenza B, Pertussis, Rotavirus, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Hepatitis B, Meningococcal, the seasonal flu shot, chickenpox, hepatitis A, and human papillomavirus (HPV).

Growth and developmental screenings

Growth and developmental screenings look for and monitor signs of developmental delays. Screenings don’t diagnose a specific health problem, but they help guide treatment. If your child’s provider detects a developmental abnormality, they might recommend additional testing or refer you to a specialist.

Pediatric ADHD evaluations

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental issue that makes it difficult to focus, sit still, or stay on task. If your child has ADHD, they may struggle with school work or exhibit behavioral problems. An evaluation can make a diagnosis and assist in guiding treatment.

How often should my child visit their pediatrician?

The team at Texas Primary & Pediatric Care recommends you schedule a pediatric appointment at regularly scheduled intervals appropriate for the age. If your child has a chronic condition like asthma or ADHD, more frequent appointments may be necessary. 

Following an initial consultation, physical exam, and review of your child’s medical history, the team can make recommendations that align with your little one’s unique needs.
