Providing Guidance on Specialty Care

Children may experience a range of medical conditions that could benefit from the expertise of a pediatric specialist in a particular field. We emphasize the coordination of all healthcare providers involved in a child's treatment. Our role involves working with specialists to ensure the best care for your child, including providing guidance on when and what specialty care is recommended.

In order to facilitate a productive relationship between the patient, primary care provider, and specialist, typically it is essential for us to conduct an initial assessment at our office before making a referral. This step enables us to furnish the specialist with comprehensive and current information regarding the child's health condition, as well as details about their recent physical examination. It also prevents specialist waitlists from getting inflated with appointments that could be handled by a PCP. Patients consistently derive advantages from the constructive collaboration between primary care providers and specialists.
