General pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital is grounded in the concept of the Medical Home. The Medical Home is a model in which your child’s primary care physician is not only their primary doctor but is also available to coordinate all aspects of their health care. Should your child need subspecialty consultations or assistance with home care issues, or have social work-related needs, your pediatrician becomes your greatest advocate. The Children’s Hospital has been awarded a Level 3 Medical Home certification, the highest rating possible, due to our experts’ dedication and commitment to pediatric medical services.
Our general pediatricians are experts in diagnosing and treating a wide range of childhood illnesses, from the common cold to more serious conditions. They are also trained to provide preventive care, immunizations, and well-child checkups.
