Pediatric Care

What is pediatric care?

Pediatric care is an area of medicine that specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing health problems in infants, children, and teens. It also closely monitors growth and development. 

Childhood is a period of rapid growth and development. Finding deviations in a child’s growth or development early may help them catch up sooner, preventing further delays or other problems that may affect their quality of life. 

Mrs. Mitchell is an experienced family nurse practitioner who provides personalized pediatric care at Comprehensive Care Clinic. 

What services are included in pediatric care?

Comprehensive Care Clinic is a family practice that manages all of your child’s health needs. Some of the pediatric care services include:

Well-child exams
Well-child exams are routine physicals that measure and monitor your child’s growth and development and assess their overall health. Mrs. Mitchell provides well-child exams for newborns through adulthood. 

The frequency of these exams depends on your child’s age. Children younger than three need more frequent well-child exams. Once your child reaches age four, these exams occur once a year.

Immunizations
Immunizations, also called vaccinations, are medical treatments that improve your child’s immune defenses against common contagious diseases. Mrs. Mitchell provides immunizations as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Sports physicals
Most children and teens need sports physicals before participating in a team sport. Mrs. Mitchell can provide a sports physical at Comprehensive Care Clinic and complete the required paperwork.

Sick care
Pediatric care also includes management of your child’s unexpected illness or injury. Mrs. Mitchell evaluates and treats these health issues and makes referrals when needed.
