Pediatrics
Children need specialized medical care from infancy. Pediatric doctors have focused their medical career on the health needs of children and improving the experience of health care for kids. At Primary Care Joliet, we are a family health care center that serves patients of all ages. We have pediatric health care specialists at our medical centers in Joliet and Wilmington, IL.
The practice of pediatrics focuses on the treatment of healthy and ill children, which is a much different medical field than caring for adults. Kids are not just smaller humans – they have specific health care needs. Children are constantly changing and growing, so they need specialized care to ensure they develop physically, mentally and emotionally. Pediatric health care professionals are dedicated to promoting good health for their small patients, but also helping parents understand what their child needs for optimum wellness.
Pediatric Health Care Services
Pediatrics focus on medical care for children from birth to 21 years of age. This includes promoting preventive care like performing immunizations as early as two months, and ensuring parents are aware of the recommended schedule for vaccinations. Pediatric health care professionals will complete full checkups on kids, checking their vision, hearing, reflexes and other development. Some of the services our pediatrics department provides includes:
- Diagnosing infant illnesses and diseases
- Monitoring psychosocial development
- Nutritional counseling for parents
- Promoting preventive health with screenings and immunizations
- Tracking physical development
- Coaching and counseling parents on healthy habits
- Monitoring for developmental challenges
- Pediatric wellness exams
