What happens during pediatric care visits?

When your child arrives at Love Family Healthcare, PLLC for their appointment, friendly staff members greet them. A provider checks your child’s weight, height, pulse, temperature, and blood pressure. 

Shira then reviews their medical history, asks about their lifestyle, and discusses symptoms or concerns you may have. 

She completes a physical examination to evaluate your child’s eyes, ears, breathing, throat, heartbeat, reflexes, and abdomen. She assesses their hearing, vision, growth, and development. 

Shira may suggest your child undergo a nasal or throat swab, urine test, blood tests, allergy or asthma testing, X-rays, or other imaging procedures as needed.

What are my child’s treatment options?

If your child is in good health, they likely don’t require any treatment. If they have an illness, injury, disease, or disease risk factors, Shira may suggest one of the following:

• Diet or exercise changes
• Other lifestyle changes
• Dietary supplements
• Prescription medications
• Fracture or wound care
• Injections
• An inhaler
• Allergy shots

If your child has a severe or complex medical problem, Shira can refer them to a specialist.
