Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Pediatric care with Dr. Sager:
- 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 practice to children, providing in-depth 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 growth and development, administering immunizations, and performing necessary screenings. They also provide a valuable opportunity for parents to discuss concerns about nutrition, sleep, safety, and behavior with Dr. Sager.
- 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 are very common concerns for new parents. Dr. Sager can examine your baby to rule out other medical issues, provide strategies to soothe the infant, and discuss potential dietary changes or medications to help manage conditions like colic or reflux.
- 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 celebrate milestones and identify any areas needing extra support.
- How do you manage chronic conditions like asthma or food allergies?
- Dr. Sager 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 coordinates care with specialists, such as allergists or pulmonologists, as needed.
- Does my child need an antibiotic every time they have a cold or a cough?
- No, antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections, not viral ones like colds or coughs. Overusing antibiotics can be harmful. Dr. Sager will carefully evaluate your child to determine if an antibiotic is needed and will not prescribe one unnecessarily.
- 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. Sager 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, pediatricians 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 make referrals to child psychologists or developmental specialists if needed.
