Pediatrics

Family-Centered Medical Treatment for Infants, Children, & Adolescents

Our board-certified pediatricians at McKenzie Health System know that when your child is sick, it affects the entire family unit. That’s why we take pediatrics personally. We recognize how children are not just smaller versions of adults, because they require specialized care appropriate for their developmental level from birth through adolescence.

A pediatrician is uniquely suited to promote a healthier future for your child. They check a child’s physical growth, as well as their emotional and cognitive development. We recommend looking for a pediatrician before you give birth so your newborn can begin wellness visits right away. Their pediatrician can explain to you, as parents, how to take care of your infant in the baby’s first few days at home. Make sure you ask all questions you have during your baby’s routine checkups and mention any changes you’ve noticed since their last appointment.
