Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Burris:
- 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 physical, emotional, and social health. While family medicine doctors can treat children, a pediatrician's entire practice is dedicated to kids, 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 also provide a valuable opportunity to discuss important topics like nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Burris.
- 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 language, movement, thinking, and social skills. This helps us celebrate milestones and identify any areas needing extra support.
- 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. These concerns are very common for new parents. Dr. Burris can examine your baby to rule out any other medical issues, provide strategies to soothe the infant, and discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage conditions like colic or reflux.
- 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 and coughs. Overusing antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Burris will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is needed and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Burris 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 like 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. Burris 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. Burris and our practice 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 provide referrals to child psychologists or developmental specialists for further testing and support.
