At DCH Health System, we take pediatrics personally, because we recognize
how the entire family is affected when a child is sick, injured, or living
with a chronic medical condition. Our board-certified pediatricians recognize
how children are not just smaller versions of adults. Children need specialized
care for their specific needs appropriate to their developmental level:
physically, emotionally, and psychologically, from birth through adolescence.
Some pediatricians serve as primary care physicians to children, meaning
they are the first stop parents take their children for general medical
care, like vaccinations and routine checkups. At DCH Health System, we
have pediatricians with experience in a wide variety of pediatric subspecialties,
including:
Neurology treats nervous system disorders
Neonatology is the treatment of premature infants
Otolaryngology treats children with ear, nose, and throat conditions
Immunology focuses on the treatment of childhood food and environmental allergies,
as well as autoimmune disorders
Cardiology treats childhood heart conditions
And much more
Promoting a Healthier Future for the Next Generation
Pediatricians are uniquely qualified to check a child’s growth, including
their physical, emotional, and cognitive development. It’s a good
idea to find a pediatrician before the birth of your child, so they can
begin their wellness visits right away. Your child’s pediatrician
can meet with you to discuss your family’s medical history and to
make a care taking plan for your baby’s first few days and weeks
at home. Make sure you ask any and all questions during your baby’s
routine wellness checkups with their pediatrician and mention any changes
you’ve noticed since the last appointment.
