Pediatric Consultations ages Birth to 25
Raising children well is more challenging now than 20 years ago.
Children are more commonly struggling with autism, ADHD, POTS, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, obesity and cancer, just to name a few.
How does that get handled in a 20 minute well-child visit?
It doesn't.
In the midst of complex care, we can often dismiss some of the most important aspects of a comprehensive health plan. Children thrive best when they are guided by adults who optimize their resiliency.
A Pediatric Consult is an opportunity to discuss and improve upon your strategies for your child or teen's specific challenges. Creating "buy-in", framing change positively, implementing healthier lifestyles are as important as medication management.
I salute you if you have a great plan or if your primary care pediatrician is available to help. If not, consider a consult.
Children are resilient
even in the face of difficult diagnoses or chronic issues.
