Well Child Visits

Regular well child visits are the foundation of a healthy childhood, and as your pediatrician in Frederick, MD, we make every checkup count. During these visits, our providers track your child's growth, monitor developmental milestones, and perform a complete physical exam. We also keep your child up to date on recommended vaccinations and offer age-appropriate screenings for vision, hearing, and emotional health. Well visits are a great opportunity for parents to ask questions about nutrition, sleep, behavior, school, and more. By seeing your child consistently over the years, we can catch potential concerns early and help set them up for lifelong wellness.

Sick Child Visits

When your child isn't feeling well, you want answers quickly. Our practice offers same-day sick child visits for illnesses such as fevers, ear infections, sore throats, coughs, stomach bugs, rashes, and minor injuries. Our providers perform a thorough assessment, take time to explain the diagnosis, and walk you through a clear treatment plan so you know exactly how to help your child recover at home. We also care for children managing chronic conditions like asthma and allergies. With extended weekday hours and nurse phone support, getting your child the care they need is easy and stress-free.

Telehealth

Sometimes the best care happens from the comfort of home. Our telehealth services allow you to connect with your child's physician, nurse practitioner, or behavioral health provider through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video visit. Virtual appointments work well for many common concerns, including rashes, acne, pink eye, allergies, cold symptoms, sleep issues, stomach troubles, ADHD follow-ups, and anxiety or depression. Telehealth visits are billed to insurance just like in-office appointments, making them a convenient and affordable option.
