Lactation
We understand that mothers often have questions about breastfeeding. Our pediatricians are able to help troubleshoot most common nursing problems, but we also have a lactation specialist who is available to assist our mothers. She can be seen in her private office, but can also give assistance over the phone if needed.
Dietician
We also have a registered dietician to help with general nutrition concerns. Some common problems she helps parents with are obesity, picky eating, poor weight gain, vegetarian/vegan diets and food allergies. She is a great resource to help our parents and families meet their healthy eating goals.
Clinical Care Manager
We understand that having a child with a chronic problem, such as asthma, diabetes, ADHD, depression and anxiety, can be stressful for parents to manage at home. To assist our parents, we have RNs on our staff that are clinical care managers who work with families of children with chronic or complex medical issues. They can assist with telephone follow up calls, discussion on medications and side effects, coordination of specialist referrals and follow ups.
