Take the pain out of pain reliever dosing.

Be confident that you are treating your child’s pain or fever with the correct dose of medication. We can guide you here on how much acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) to give, based on your child’s weight. (Benadryl too!)

Toilet training is a big milestone, and readiness varies for each child.

Signs your toddler may be ready include: staying dry for 2+ hours, showing interest in the toilet, communicating the need to go, and demonstrating basic self-care skills like pulling pants up and down.

Remember, children potty train at different times, so give yourself grace and patience throughout the process. Pushing too early can lead to frustration for you and your toddler.

Wellness visits are a great time to chat with your provider about potty training. Do you have your next well visit scheduled? Call today.

Children in grade school may start noticing early body changes such as growth spurts, changes in body shape, or the beginnings of puberty.

For girls, puberty typically starts between 8–13 years, often beginning with breast development, followed by pubic hair and a growth spurt. For boys, puberty usually starts between 9–14 years, often beginning with testicular enlargement, followed by pubic hair and a growth spurt.

These changes can start at different ages for each child.

Open conversations about their body, privacy, and healthy habits help children feel comfortable and confident.

Well visits are a great time for your provider to assess puberty changes and give guidance on what to expect and when. Call today to schedule an appointment.

Teens often experience headaches, stomachaches, and other common discomforts due to stress, growth, hormones, or diet.

Most minor complaints can be managed with rest, hydration, and over-the-counter remedies. Keeping a symptom diary that tracks frequency, triggers, and severity can help both families and providers identify patterns and guide treatment.

However, persistent, severe, or worsening symptoms, vomiting, dizziness, or unexplained weight loss require medical evaluation.

Call our office if your teen’s symptoms are concerning or impacting daily life. Same-day sick visits are available, and early evaluation helps prevent complications.

Your child’s pediatric provider plays a key role in coordinating care with specialists, including sending referrals, reviewing test results, and ensuring treatments are consistent.

This helps families avoid gaps in care and unnecessary appointments, while keeping all providers on the same page.

Important Fact: Some insurances require up to date wellness visits before a referral to a specialist can be initiated…another reason why staying up to date on wellness care is so important.

If you need help with care coordination or to schedule your child’s wellness visit, reach out to us today.

Ear infections are common in school-age children, but not all ear infections are the same.

1) Otitis media (middle ear infection): This occurs behind the eardrum, often following a cold or upper respiratory infection. Symptoms can include ear pain, fever, irritability, or trouble hearing. Some cases improve on their own, but antibiotics may be needed if symptoms are severe or persistent.

2) Otitis externa (outer ear infection or “swimmer’s ear”): This affects the ear canal, often after swimming or water exposure. Symptoms include ear pain when the ear is touched, redness, itching, and sometimes discharge. Treatment typically involves ear drops rather than oral antibiotics.

Understanding the type of infection helps guide proper treatment and prevent complications.

Call our office if your child shows signs of an ear infection so we can determine the type and provide the right care.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor.”

Dr. Asgaonkar is absolutely amazing. She is very caring, knowledgeable, and respectful. She really listens to you and happily answers any questions you may have. My husband and I are so happy we found her for our baby. Couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. Also, the office is SO CLEAN.
