Pediatrics

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on infants, children and adolescents. Although the actual cutoff age is usually determined by the pediatrician and the patient, most pediatricians treat patients from birth to age 18. Because an infant and child's body is vastly different from an adult's body and is still growing, pediatricians pay thorough attention to the possibilities of congenital defects, genetic variances and developmental issues and refer to pediatric subspecialists if needed.
Conditions treated include:
- Acid reflux
- Allergies
- Asthma
- Attention deficit disorder
- Behavioral and emotional disorders
- Constipation
- Cough & upper respiratory infections
- Digestive disorders
- Ear infections
- Headaches
- Minor injuries
- Neurological disorders
