Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Onhaizer:
- 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, encompassing their physical, emotional, and social well-being. While family medicine doctors can treat children, pediatricians dedicate their entire training to this specific population, providing in-depth knowledge of childhood illnesses and developmental stages.
- Why are well-child visits important even if my child isn't sick?
- Well-child visits are crucial for monitoring growth and development, ensuring vaccinations are up to date, and performing necessary screenings. They provide a vital opportunity to discuss concerns about nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Onhaizer.
- 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 needing extra support.
- 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. Onhaizer will carefully evaluate your child's condition to determine if an antibiotic is necessary and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Onhaizer creates a personalized action plan to manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies, including daily medication management, emergency medication prescriptions (like inhalers or EpiPens), and education on avoiding triggers. She coordinates care with specialists like allergists or pulmonologists as needed.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Yes, pediatricians like Dr. Onhaizer are trained to evaluate children's behavioral and mental health. We can provide an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD, offer helpful parenting strategies, and refer families to specialists for further testing and support if 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 we do. Dr. Onhaizer can determine the cause, prescribe antibiotics if needed, and discuss strategies to reduce recurrence or if a referral to an ENT specialist is necessary.
- 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. Onhaizer can examine your baby to rule out other medical issues, provide strategies to soothe the infant, and discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage conditions like colic or reflux.
