What is pediatric care?

Pediatric care is targeted medical care that keeps your child healthy and happy as they grow. It covers everything from regular checkups and vaccinations to treating common illnesses and injuries. Pediatricians focus on your child’s physical and mental health, ensuring they reach important milestones.

During visits, your child gets a thorough evaluation, which helps identify any health concerns early on. Pediatric specialists provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, and healthy habits, so your little one can thrive. Whether you have questions about your baby's growth or your teenager's health, pediatric care supports you and your family through every milestone.

What does pediatric care involve?

Pediatric care involves regular checkups to monitor your child’s growth and development. These visits typically include: 

Physicals

During physicals, your child’s provider performs a thorough examination to assess their overall health. They check vital signs, examine the heart and lungs, and look at their skin and eyes. Physicals are essential for sports participation, school requirements, and general health.

Developmental screenings

Developmental screenings evaluate your child’s progress in areas like speech, motor skills, and social interactions. These screenings help identify any delays or concerns early, allowing for timely interventions if needed.

Vaccinations

Immunizations (vaccinations) are a crucial part of pediatric care. Vaccines protect your child from serious diseases. Your provider helps you create a vaccination schedule to ensure your child is fully protected at the right times.

Acute and chronic disease management

Whether your child has the common cold, asthma, or allergies, their Lost Creek Medical provider can diagnose the issue and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.

Nutritional guidance

Your family’s provider offers valuable advice on nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices. They can help you understand what balanced meals look like and encourage physical activity.

Behavioral support

Pediatric care includes addressing emotional and behavioral concerns, helping you navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues.

How often does my child need pediatric visits?

During your child’s first year of life, they have several pediatric visits — at 3-5 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 12 months. After that, they typically return every 3-6 months until age 3. Eventually, they return for yearly visits.
