Finding a family doctor who works well with your children can be difficult. Finding a family doctor that provides comprehensive routine and urgent care in one place is just about impossible. Most family doctors have a traditional practice and you need to go somewhere else for urgent care. That can be upsetting to your sick child, and scary as well. One Family Doctor Starkville MS has developed a practice with a whole team of nurses and practitioners who offer many services for children from birth to 21 years of age. Same day appointments are available for urgent care and the wait time is kept to a minimum.
Services include the usual primary care, X-rays, immunizations and sports physicals. Testing can include food allergy testing, pregnancy testing for your teenager, glucose testing and testing for autism and mental health issues. You would expect these services from any Family Doctor Starkville MS. Some services that you might not expect are neonatal care, oncology, urology, ophthalmology, pain management, and cardiovascular treatment. The Children’s Health Center of Columbus Inc., offers these services and has a child obesity doctor on staff. There is also a well child room to keep healthy kids separate from the sick kids. This helps the sick kids from picking up any more germs. This helps the well kids, who are in for routine care, stay healthy. This idea is especially beneficial to healthy newborns.
Most doctors’ offices have websites that introduce you to their doctors and let you schedule appointments. You can also go online to download forms you will need to fill out for your first visit. Filling them out at home and bringing them with you will save you time once you get to the appointment. That means less time spent in the waiting room for you and your child, which makes the experience better for both of you. A lot of information is also provided online to educate you about what to expect from your newborn, healthy child development, and stages of growth. This information is great for expectant mothers, new parents, and getting answers to questions regarding new sign and symptoms of possible illness.
