- Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): Itchy, inflamed skin is a hallmark of eczema (atopic dermatitis); a pediatrician helps children manage this condition by prescribing topical creams or other treatments and offering tips for preventing outbreaks.
- Hives: Hives are red, bumpy skin rashes that pediatricians treat by identifying the cause (allergies, infection, etc.) and recommending ways to reduce symptoms.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Moore:
- 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, pediatricians dedicate their entire practice 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 preventative care, tracking growth and development, administering immunizations, and performing important screenings. They also provide a vital opportunity for parents to discuss any concerns about nutrition, sleep, safety, or behavior with Dr. Moore.
- 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 or coughs. Overuse of antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Moore 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. Moore manages chronic conditions like asthma and food allergies by creating a personalized action plan for each child. This includes managing daily medications, prescribing emergency medications, and educating families on avoiding triggers. She also coordinates care with specialists, such as allergists or pulmonologists, as needed.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Dr. Moore and our practice are happy to help with behavioral issues. Pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's behavioral and mental health, and can provide an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD. We can offer parenting strategies and refer you to child psychologists or developmental specialists for further testing and support if needed.
- What is involved in a developmental screening?
- A developmental screening is a simple set of questions and checklists used during well-child visits to assess a child's progress in language, movement, thinking, and social skills. It's a routine way to celebrate milestones and identify any areas where additional support might be beneficial. These screenings help ensure children are on track for healthy development.
- 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. Moore can examine your baby to rule out any other medical issues and provide strategies to soothe the infant. She can also discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage conditions like colic or reflux.
- 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. Moore 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.
