Pediatrics

FirstMed’s pediatric department is committed to the well-being of infants, children, and adolescents. Our pediatricians care for both the emotional and physical health of children.

Video visits are a good option for medical issues or concerns that don’t require a physical examination to diagnose or treat. They can spare you and your child the added stress of having to leave home for treatment.

If you’re unsure, Telemedicine is a great way to connect with your doctor and determine the urgency of your child’s case.

Patient Education

Don’t trust everything you read online about your child’s health. With Telemedicine, you can get all your questions answered by medical professionals who personalize the care to your specific case.

Vaccine Schedules

Keeping vaccinations up-to-date is extremely important for your child’s health and well-being. Telemedicine can be used to map out vaccine schedules according to any international recommendations, answer any questions about the vaccines, and discuss potential side-effects.

Child Development

Developmental screenings can help to determine if your child needs more help with development, or if further action is necessary. With Telemedicine, you can consult our pediatricians about development milestones and how to manage delays.

Medication Management

Drug safety is paramount in pediatric patients. With Telemedicine, you can conveniently consult your doctor about correct administration methods as well as discuss any medication side-effects.

Appointment Follow-Up

While you must be present for physical examinations, following-up on blood work and other screenings is easiest with telemedicine.

This follow-up is important so your doctor can give you a clear sense of what the results or changing conditions may mean for your child.

Sick Visits

Consult our pediatricians remotely if your sick child hasn’t improved since their last visit. Your doctor can answer your questions and help gauge the urgency of the medical concern.

Abnormal Lab Results

If your child’s lab or radiology results came back abnormal, you can use Telemedicine to remotely connect with your doctor to get your questions answered and determine the next steps in treatment.

Managing Chronic Conditions

Best for updating or maintaining the condition management plan established by your doctor. For instance, patients with asthma can get prescriptions refilled and/or have important questions answered.
