- Lice: Pediatricians can help identify and treat head lice, a common childhood problem causing intense scalp itching, by recommending effective treatments and prevention strategies.
- Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): Eczema is a type of rash that makes a child's skin red, itchy, and sometimes cracked; your pediatrician can diagnose it and recommend treatments to relieve symptoms.
- ADHD and-or ADD: If your child struggles with focus or impulsiveness, a pediatrician can evaluate for ADHD or ADD and guide you through treatment options, including medication and therapy.
- Acne: Dealing with acne? Your child's pediatrician can provide personalized advice and treatment, helping them manage this common skin concern.
- Down Syndrome: A pediatrician's expertise is essential for children with Down syndrome; they monitor growth, development, and health concerns, offering treatment and support to ensure the child's well-being.
- Diaper Rash: If your baby has diaper rash, your pediatrician can assess the severity and recommend the best creams, ointments, or other measures for relief.
- Earwax Buildup: Earwax buildup is a common problem where too much earwax blocks the ear canal, and a pediatrician can safely remove it or recommend ways to manage it.
- Wheezing: Wheezing is a whistling sound during breathing, often caused by narrowed airways, and pediatricians diagnose and treat the underlying cause, such as asthma or a respiratory infection.
- Allergic Conjunctivitis: Your child's red, swollen, and itchy eyes might be allergic conjunctivitis; your pediatrician can diagnose this and help relieve the discomfort.
- Viral Infection: Viral infections, like colds and the flu, are common in children, and pediatricians diagnose and manage these illnesses, often providing supportive care to help your child feel better.
- Hives: If your child develops hives, a pediatrician can assess the severity, identify potential triggers (like allergies), and provide appropriate care.

- Pre-School Neuropsychological Assessment: This test evaluates a preschooler's cognitive skills, like learning, memory, and attention, to identify any areas needing support.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Greeley:
- What is the difference between a Pediatrician and a Family Medicine doctor for my child?
- Pediatricians are specialists trained exclusively to care for children from birth through young adulthood, focusing on their unique physical, emotional, and social needs. While family medicine doctors can treat children, pediatricians dedicate their entire practice to kids, providing extensive experience with 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 development, and administering immunizations. They also provide opportunities to screen for potential problems and discuss important topics like nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Greeley.
- 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. Greeley 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?
- Yes, Dr. Greeley can help. Pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's behavioral and mental health, including conditions like ADHD and tantrums. They can provide an initial assessment, parenting strategies, and referrals to specialists 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. Greeley will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is necessary and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- 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 additional support might be beneficial.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Greeley 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. She coordinates care with specialists like allergists or pulmonologists as needed.
- My baby seems to be crying all the time. Can you help with issues like colic or reflux?
- We understand how frustrating constant crying can be for new parents. These are very common concerns, and Dr. Greeley 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.
