What is pediatrics?

Pediatrics is a family medicine subspecialty that provides medical care to children of all ages. The compassionate team at Auburn Medical Group can help your child stay healthy and happy while monitoring their growth and development. 

Pediatrics typically include the following:

• Primary care and well-child visits
• Sick visits
• Newborn care (for babies)
• Pediatric care (for children, adolescents, and teens) 
• Developmental assessments
• Vaccines and immunizations
• Mental health assessments 

Pediatrics is important because it monitors your child’s health and wellness as they grow into young adults. 

Many medical issues don’t present obvious symptoms early on, and children aren’t able to express their health concerns in the same way as adults. Routine pediatric checkups can alert you to health problems early on (when they respond best to treatment).

What services does pediatrics provide?

The team at Auburn Medical Group offers a full suite of pediatric services, including:

Newborn care

Newborn care uses a combination of regularly scheduled checkups and preventive screenings to monitor your baby’s growth and development. These checkups present an opportunity to ask questions, update your child’s immunizations, and discuss topics like breastfeeding.

Adolescent health

Adolescent health provides complete medical care for adolescents and teens. The experienced team at Auburn Medical Group offers custom medical plans to help your child achieve optimal well-being. 

Behavioral health

Behavioral health can help address mental health concerns, like general anxiety and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The team can provide counseling, healthy lifestyle recommendations, and specialist referrals depending on your child’s age and needs. 

Preventive health

Your child may need preventive health care for chronic conditions, such as obesity, or to protect them from the flu virus. The team provides flu shots and other preventive health treatments.
