Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Wagner:
- 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 to young adulthood, including their physical, emotional, and social well-being. While family medicine doctors can treat children, pediatricians dedicate their entire training to this age group, giving them 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 essential for preventative care, monitoring growth and development, scheduling immunizations, and performing necessary screenings. They provide a crucial opportunity to discuss important topics like nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Wagner.
- Does my child need an antibiotic every time they have a cold or a cough?
- Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections, not viral ones like colds and coughs. Overuse of antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Wagner will carefully evaluate your child's condition to determine if an antibiotic is necessary and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- 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. Colic and reflux are very common concerns for new parents. Dr. Wagner can examine your baby to rule out other medical issues, provide soothing strategies, and discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage these conditions.
- 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. Wagner 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.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Wagner 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.
- 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.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Yes, Dr. Wagner can help. Pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's behavioral and mental health, and can provide an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD. They can also offer parenting strategies and refer to specialists for further testing and support if needed.
