How do you diagnose and treat ADHD?

Every child develops differently, but signs like trouble focusing, impulsivity, or difficulty managing emotions can sometimes point to ADHD. If your child’s behavior is affecting school, friendships, or daily routines, it may be time for an evaluation. You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re always here to discuss any concerns with you.

How do I schedule a behavioral health visit?

You can schedule a behavioral health appointment online or by calling our practice. Our team will help match your family with the right provider and make sure you get care quickly - whether it’s a first-time evaluation or ongoing support.

Do you screen for anxiety and depression?

Mental health is healthcare! We do screen for anxiety and depression, especially as our patients enter their teenage years. Symptoms can look different in every child, so our providers ask age-appropriate questions and screening tools during well-visits to ensure your child is fully supported. If needed, we create a personalized care plan that may include behavioral strategies, therapy, and, when appropriate, medication management. If you ever have any concerns in between well visits, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us on the patient portal. We’d always rather discuss your concerns - via messages or an in-office appointment - rather than let your symptoms go unaddressed.

Do you provide guidance on sleep, potty training, and nutrition?

Yes, we’re here for all of it. Our pediatric providers regularly support families through everyday milestones like sleep routines, potty training, and healthy eating habits. We’ll meet you where you are, offer age-appropriate guidance, and tailor our advice to your child’s needs (and your family’s lifestyle). There’s never any judgment, just helpful evidence-backed tips you can actually use. We’re always happy to discuss these topics at your well visits or whenever it’s on your mind. Never hesitate to reach out to us via the patient portal to ask your questions.

Can you refer us to a specialist if needed?

Yes. If your child needs care beyond our office - whether it’s a cardiologist, dermatologist, therapist, or another specialist - we’ll help coordinate the referral and make sure you have everything you need. We’re happy to be your first stop and ongoing partner, even if your child needs support from a broader care team.

What should I do if my child is sick after hours?

If your child gets sick outside of office hours, we're still here for you. Our 24/7 on-call care connects you with a nurse triage team who can help assess your child’s symptoms and guide you on next steps - whether that’s home care, a next-day sick visit, or more urgent attention. In addition, we’ve prepared a When to Call guide to help you better treat symptoms at home. For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For all other concerns, call us or book an appointment.

What should I do if my child has a fever?

Fevers are common symptoms for many different childhood illnesses. Our guidance is the following:Call immediately- Your child is less than 2 months old AND the fever is equal to or greater than 100.4F (38.0C). Your child is older than 2 months old and their fever is equal to or greater than 100.4F (38.0C) for over 24 hours.If the fever has persisted for more than 24 hours. If the child has any behavioral changes (appears weak, decreased responsiveness, or is difficult to awaken)At-Home Care:Fever is often helpful in fighting infection. Offer Tylenol or Motrin (for kids over 6 months) and keep your child well hydrated until they can be seen. It also helps to dress your child in lightweight clothing to help them stay cool. Never hesitate to give us a call or book an appointment if you have any concerns. If you believe you or your child are experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
