Children aren't simply smaller adults. Their bodies, development and healthcare needs change considerably from infancy through adolescence. Pediatricians are physicians who went on to Residency Program for 3 years exclusively after medical school to train and focus specifically on the health and medical care of infants, children and adolescents.
Pediatric care includes much more than treating illness. A pediatrician monitors growth and development, provides preventive care and immunizations, treats common childhood illnesses, and helps identify developmental, behavioral and health concerns as children grow.
Having a pediatrician who knows your child's medical history also provides continuity of care from the newborn years through adolescence and young adulthood.
At Docs 4 Kids Pediatrics, Dr. Humberto J. Rivas provides pediatric care from birth through age 21, allowing families to have one physician who can follow their child's health and development over many years.
