Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Robinson:
- What is the difference between a Pediatrician and a Family Medicine doctor for my child?
- Pediatricians are specialists trained exclusively in the care of children from birth through young adulthood, focusing on their unique physical, emotional, and social needs. While family medicine doctors can also treat children, a pediatrician's entire practice is dedicated to children, providing deep expertise in 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 valuable opportunity to discuss important topics like nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Robinson.
- Does my child need an antibiotic every time they have a cold or a cough?
- No, antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections, not viruses like colds and coughs. Overusing antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Robinson will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is necessary and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Dr. Robinson and our practice are happy to help with behavioral issues. Pediatricians are trained to assess a child's development and behavior, and can provide an initial evaluation for conditions like ADHD. We can also offer parenting strategies and connect you with 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 a common part of pediatric care. Dr. Robinson can determine the cause, prescribe antibiotics if needed, and discuss strategies to reduce future infections or if a referral to an ENT specialist is necessary.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Robinson manages chronic conditions like asthma and food allergies by creating a personalized action plan for each child. This includes managing daily medications, providing prescriptions for emergency medications, and educating the family on avoiding triggers. She also coordinates care with specialists like allergists or pulmonologists as needed.
- 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 extra support might be beneficial.
- 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. Colic and reflux are very common concerns for new parents. Dr. Robinson 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.
