Pediatric Medicine

Our Approach

Pediatric services at Franciscan Health are focused on helping children heal and stay healthy. From the tiniest infant to the changing adolescent, our pediatricians and family medicine providers know how to care for your child's unique primary care needs as they grow. If your child ever needs services in the hospital, like surgery or care for a chronic illness, our dedicated providers and pediatric nurses are here to provide your child with excellent care.

Our pediatric and family medicine specialists can be established as your child primary care provider. In addition to treating illnesses and injuries, we also make sure your child is developing normally and getting the preventive health services they need, such as annual physicals and wellness care.

Tips for choosing a pediatrician

Choosing a pediatric provider is an important decision not only for your child's health, but also for your peace of mind. Through regularly scheduled visits and check-ups, a pediatric provider is there to oversee your child's health and development and answer any questions you may have along the way.

If you're looking for a primary care provider for your child, you may want to start by asking those you trust for recommendations. Your family provider, obstetrician, family, friends and colleagues can be great resources for finding the right provider for your child.
