Pediatric Care

Making sure your child is on track for healthy growth and development is always the number one priority of the pediatric care at St. Anthony Clinic. Pediatricians are specifically trained to care for infants, children and adolescents. They perform routine well-child exams, sports and school physicals, immunizations and treatment for occasional and on-going illnesses.

The pediatric care at St. Anthony involves taking the time to understand individual health care needs and provide the best treatment options available for each and every patient. Pediatric medicine isn’t as simple as “miniaturized” adult medicine. Aside from the obvious body size differences that exist between pediatric and adult patients, there are a number of other issues that come into play. Because most pediatric patients are still physically developing while under their care, pediatricians must pay special attention to growth and developmental issues that are not typically present in adult patients. These considerations significantly impact the course of care prescribed by pediatric health specialists when compared to treatments for adults facing similar conditions.
