Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Kasbarian:
- 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 physical, emotional, and social well-being. While family medicine doctors can 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 vital for preventive care, tracking development, and administering immunizations. They also allow for screenings and provide a crucial opportunity to discuss important topics like nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Kasbarian.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Dr. Kasbarian and our team are trained to evaluate a child's behavioral and mental health. We can provide an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD, offer parenting strategies, and refer to child psychologists or developmental specialists for further testing and support.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Kasbarian 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 the family on avoiding triggers. She also coordinates care with specialists, such as allergists or pulmonologists, as needed.
- Does my child need an antibiotic every time they have a cold or a cough?
- No, antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections, not viral ones like colds or coughs. Overusing antibiotics can harm your child's health. Dr. Kasbarian will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is necessary and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- 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. Kasbarian 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.
- My baby seems to be crying all the time. Can you help with issues like colic or reflux?
- We understand how frustrating it can be when a baby cries frequently. Dr. Kasbarian can examine your baby to rule out other medical issues, provide soothing strategies, and discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage 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 how a child is developing in areas like language, movement, thinking, and social skills. This helps us celebrate milestones and identify any areas where additional support might be beneficial.
