@tracy_tysonmd: Replying to @Bloom What does a primary care pediatrician actually do? 🩺 It’s a lot more than well-child visits, vaccines, and checking ears. We’re often the first place families turn for: 🧠 Anxiety, depression, ADHD & behavioral concerns 📈 Growth, development & puberty 🫁 Asthma and chronic disease management 🤒 Acute illness and deciding what needs more evaluation 🥗 Nutrition, feeding, sleep & healthy habits 🏫 School struggles and learning concerns 🩸 Screening for anemia, lead, cholesterol & other health risks 💉 Preventive care & immunizations 👶 Newborn feeding, development and parental concerns ❤️ Helping families navigate specialists, hospitals, schools and an increasingly complicated healthcare system And sometimes the most important thing we do is notice when something just isn’t right—and figure out what comes next. Primary pediatrics is prevention, diagnosis, treatment, mental health care, chronic disease management, advocacy, education and a relationship with a family that can last from birth through young adulthood. We don’t just take care of sick kids. We help kids grow into healthy adults. ❤️ #Pediatrics #Pediatrician #PrimaryCare #ChildHealth #PreventiveCare
