Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Reese:
- 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 treat children, a pediatrician's practice is entirely dedicated to kids, 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 preventive care, tracking growth and development, administering immunizations, and performing necessary screenings. They provide a vital opportunity to discuss important topics like nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Reese.
- 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 progressing in areas like language, movement, thinking, and social skills. This helps us celebrate milestones and identify any potential areas where additional support might be needed.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Yes, Dr. Reese can help. Pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's overall health, including behavioral and mental health. She can perform an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD, offer strategies for parents, and refer to specialists if needed for further evaluation and support.
- Does my child need an antibiotic every time they have a cold or a cough?
- Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections, not viral infections like colds and coughs. Overuse of antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Reese will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is needed 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 a pediatrician does. Dr. Reese 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 distressing it can be when a baby cries frequently. Dr. Reese can examine your baby to rule out any underlying medical issues and provide strategies to soothe them, as well as discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage conditions like colic or reflux.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Reese manages chronic conditions like asthma and food allergies by creating a personalized action plan for each child. This plan includes managing daily medications, providing prescriptions for emergency medications, and educating the family on avoiding triggers.
