👩‍⚕️ What is a pediatrician?

A pediatrician is a medical doctor who specializes in the health and medical care of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. Pediatricians are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of childhood illnesses, both acute and chronic, and are experts in child development, behavior, nutrition, and preventive care.
Most pediatricians, including ours, are board-certified by the American Board of Pediatrics, meaning they’ve passed rigorous exams and maintain the highest standards of care.

🏥 Is your office accepting new patients?

Yes, we are always accepting new patients! Whether you’re expecting a baby or looking to transfer care for an older child, we’re excited to welcome your family to our practice. Request an appointment or call us to get started.

📅 How often should my child see the pediatrician?

Routine well-child visits are essential for monitoring your child’s growth, development, and overall well-being. These visits also allow time for vaccinations, screenings, and answering your questions as a parent.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends the following schedule for routine well visits:
  • Newborns: 3–5 days after birth
  • Infants: 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 months
  • Toddlers: 24 and 30 months
  • Preschoolers: 3 and 4 years
  • Children 5+: Annually through adolescence
These visits are key to preventive care and building a strong relationship with your pediatrician.

🧑‍⚕️ Can I meet my pediatrician before my baby is born?

Absolutely! We encourage all expecting parents to schedule a prenatal consultation. It’s a great opportunity to meet our team, tour our office, and ask any questions about your baby’s care before delivery.

💉 Why does my child need vaccinations?

Vaccines protect your child from serious, and sometimes life-threatening, diseases. Following the CDC and AAP recommended immunization schedule helps ensure your child builds immunity at the right time. Vaccines have reduced infections from preventable diseases by over 90%.
If you have questions or concerns about vaccines, we’re here to support you with accurate, evidence-based guidance.

What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is in the family of coronaviruses that is often the cause of the "common cold." However, in 2019 a Novel version of this virus was detected in Wuhan, China, now called COVID-19. COVID-19 spreads from person to person or via surfaces. When an infected person coughs or sneezes, tiny droplets containing the virus are released into the air and immediate surroundings. It is possible for an uninfected person to get COVID-19 infection by directly coming into contact with these droplets or by touching surfaces or objects affected by these droplets and then touching his or her mouth, nose or eyes.

Does CDC have resources on how to treat and care for patients with COVID-19?

Yes, the CDC has several resources. Factors that may help guide the assessment of a patient with COVID-19 includes assessing their travel history, current symptoms, as well being aware of the epidemiology of COVID-19 in your local community.

What is the treatment available for COVID-19? Is there a vaccine?

Treatment is mainly supportive care. There is currently no vaccine available to prevent COVID-19 but vaccines are being tested and there has been recruitment for an experimental vaccine in the state of Washington. The NIH also currently has a clinical trial investigating the use of certain medication to treat COVID-19.

How can I protect my family?
Prevention is Key!

The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
  • Follow CDC's recommendations for using a facemask.
    • CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.
    • Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
    • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
