Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Masters:
- What is the difference between a Pediatrician and a Family Medicine doctor for my child?
- Pediatricians are specialists who focus exclusively on the health of children from birth through young adulthood, including their physical, emotional, and social well-being. While family medicine doctors can treat children, a pediatrician's training and practice are dedicated entirely to kids, giving them extensive experience with childhood illnesses and developmental stages.
- Why are well-child visits important even if my child isn't sick?
- Well-child visits are crucial for preventive care, tracking development, and administering immunizations. They also provide opportunities to screen for potential problems and discuss important topics like nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Masters.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Masters works with families to create a personalized action plan for managing chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies. This includes managing daily medications, providing prescriptions for emergency medications, and educating families on avoiding triggers. She also coordinates care with specialists, such as allergists or pulmonologists, as needed.
- My child gets ear infections frequently. Is this something you handle?
- Yes. Diagnosing and treating ear infections is one of the most common things a pediatrician does. Dr. Masters can determine the cause, prescribe antibiotics if necessary, and discuss strategies to reduce recurrence or determine if a referral to an ENT specialist is needed.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Dr. Masters can help assess behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums. Pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's overall well-being, including behavior, and can provide initial assessments and parenting strategies. If further testing or specialized support is needed, Dr. Masters can refer you to appropriate specialists.
- My baby seems to be crying all the time. Can you help with issues like colic or reflux?
- We understand how distressing it can be when a baby cries frequently. Dr. Masters can examine your baby to rule out any underlying medical issues and provide strategies to soothe the infant. She can also discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage conditions like colic or reflux.
- What is involved in a developmental screening?
- A developmental screening is a routine part of well-child visits. It involves simple questions and checklists to assess a child's progress in language, movement, thinking, and social skills. This helps us celebrate milestones and identify any areas where additional support might be beneficial.
- Does my child need an antibiotic every time they have a cold or a cough?
- Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections, not viruses like colds or coughs. Overusing antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Masters will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is needed and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
