Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Wood:
- 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 to young adulthood, focusing on their physical, emotional, and social well-being. While family medicine doctors can treat children, pediatricians dedicate their entire training and practice to the unique needs of children, 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 preventive care, tracking development, and administering immunizations. They also allow for important screenings and provide a valuable opportunity for parents to discuss concerns about nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Wood manages chronic conditions like asthma and food allergies by creating a personalized action plan. This includes managing daily medications, providing prescriptions for emergency medications, and educating the family on avoiding triggers. She also coordinates care with specialists, such as 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. Wood 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.
- 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 areas where additional support might be beneficial.
- 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 or coughs. Overusing antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Wood will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is necessary and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- Can a pediatrician help with behavioral issues like ADHD or tantrums?
- Yes, Dr. Wood can help. Pediatricians are trained to evaluate a child's behavioral and mental health. They can provide an initial assessment for conditions like ADHD, offer parenting strategies, and refer to specialists for further support.
- 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. Dr. Wood can examine your baby to rule out any underlying medical issues, provide strategies to soothe your infant, and discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage colic or reflux.
