Children & Adolescent Care

Children and adolescents have unique healthcare needs. Regular well-child visits give me the opportunity to do a physical exam and monitor growth and development. Should any health concerns arise, early detection and treatment helps to prevent progression and encourage a faster recovery. Well-child visits also allow me to answer any questions you (the parent) may have and offer advice around nutrition, exercise, behaviour, and immune support. Many common childhood illnesses can be prevented if the symptoms or predisposing factors are identified early. Common childhood & adolescent concerns include:

• Food allergies & sensitivities

• Colic & digestive disturbances (constipation, diarrhea, IBS)

• Atopic conditions: Atopic Dermatitis/eczema, asthma, allergies

• Thrush

• Diaper rash

• Teething

• Ear infections/Otitis media

• Cold & flu

• Childhood vaccinations (for children 5 years+)

• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

• Acne

• Hormone imbalances

• Menstrual irregularities

• Gynecological infections (yeast infections, Bacterial vaginosis, STIs)

• Contraception
