Pediatrics

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on babies, children, and adolescents up to age 18. Small, growing bodies are different to treat than adult bodies, so they require specially trained care.

Pediatrics doesn’t only focus on keeping children healthy and treating them when they’re sick or injured; it also focuses on making sure your child is developing at a healthy rate. Each visit with your child’s physician is an opportunity for you to ask questions and receive guidance for keeping them healthy.

Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by consistently high levels of sugar (glucose) in your blood.

There are several types of diabetes. Your type depends on the cause of your high blood sugar levels, and treatments vary between the types.
