Many insurance plans reset at the start of the year, which can affect coverage for preventive care.
Scheduling your child’s wellness visit before the year ends ensures they get recommended vaccines, screenings, and health guidance without missing benefits.
Call our office today to schedule your child’s wellness visit before the insurance year resets.

November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month which is a time to raise understanding and support for children living with seizures.
A seizure happens when there is a sudden burst of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, which can cause changes in movement, behavior, awareness, or sensation.
If your child ever has a seizure, here are a few steps to keep them safe:
- Stay calm and gently place them on their side.
- Do not put anything in their mouth.
- Move objects away to prevent injury.
- Time the seizure. If it lasts longer than 5 minutes, call 911 immediately.
If your child has experienced a seizure or you’re concerned about unusual episodes, call our office.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month, a time to recognize the unique journey of babies born too soon and the strength of their families. Life after the NICU can feel overwhelming, with many follow-up appointments, therapies, and ongoing care needs.
Every baby’s journey is different, and support looks different for each family.
Our office is here to help coordinate care for your premature baby, including referrals to early intervention, ophthalmology, and developmental specialists.
If your child was born prematurely, give us a call so we can make sure your family has the right support in place for your baby’s growth and development.

Grade schoolers are learning to recognize and manage their emotions, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. Encourage open conversations about feelings, model healthy coping strategies, and validate your child’s experiences.
Teaching problem-solving and stress management skills at this stage helps children build resilience and confidence. Encourage your child to manage stress by taking deep breaths, talking about their feelings, or using drawing or journaling to express emotions.
If your child struggles with emotional regulation or frequent mood changes, call our office. We can offer strategies, resources, and referrals if needed.

November is National Diabetes Month, and we want to show support for all the amazing kids and families managing type 1 diabetes every day. Managing diabetes can be a full-time job checking blood sugars, counting carbs, and balancing insulin, but with the right tools and support, children with diabetes can live healthy, active lives.
Here are a few trusted resources for families:
1) Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF): www.jdrf.org – advocacy, support, and research updates.
2) American Diabetes Association (ADA): www.diabetes.org – educational resources and family programs.
3) Beyond Type 1: www.beyondtype1.org – community stories, tips, and support networks.
If your child has symptoms such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, weight loss, or fatigue - or if type 1 diabetes runs in your family - call our office. We can help with testing, guidance, and next steps to keep your child healthy.
