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!)

Sorry, we have no events scheduled at this time.

We are a vaccinating practice.

We firmly believe in the effectiveness of vaccines to prevent serious illness and to save lives, and we have complete confidence in vaccine safety. We believe that all children and young adults should receive the recommended vaccines according to the schedule published by the Centers for Disease Control and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Flu season is here.

Kids often show symptoms like fever, body aches, cough, sore throat, and sometimes vomiting or diarrhea. Most cases can be managed at home with rest and fluids, but call our office if your child is working hard to breathe, isn’t drinking well, or isn’t improving after a few days.

Fun fact: kids are actually more likely than adults to spread the flu because they shed the virus longer.

Flu vaccines are still available and still one of the simplest ways to protect your family. Call today if your child still needs theirs.

January is National Bath Safety Month — the perfect time to make sure your home’s water heater is set to a safe temperature. Hot tap water can cause burns in seconds, especially for young children.

✔ What temperature should it be?
Set your water heater to 120°F (49°C) to help prevent scalds.

How to check your water heater setting:
• Look at your water heater’s temperature dial — many have a clear temperature marking or a “hot / warm” range.
• To double-check, run hot water from a faucet for one minute and use a kitchen thermometer to test the water temperature.

How to adjust it:
• Turn the temperature dial down to 120°F (or the “warm” setting if temperatures aren’t labeled).
• Give the heater a few hours to reset, then recheck the tap temperature.
• If your heater is older or unmarked, or you’re unsure how to adjust it safely, contact your maintenance team, landlord, or a licensed professional.

A quick check can make bath time much safer for little ones.

An umbilical granuloma is a small, pink growth of tissue that can form at the belly button after the umbilical cord falls off. It may produce a little discharge but is usually painless.

Most granulomas are treated easily in the office using safe methods like silver nitrate.

If you notice a growth, persistent moisture, or redness at your baby’s belly button, call our office for evaluation and treatment.

We offer same day sick appointments for your convenience.

Do you know how many hours per day your toddler should be sleeping?

Toddlers typically need about 11–14 hours of sleep per 24 hours, including naps. Most children between 1 and 2 years take 1–2 naps per day, while 3-year-olds often transition to a single nap or may skip naps entirely.
Consistent sleep routines help toddlers feel secure and well-rested. Establish a regular bedtime, calming pre-sleep activities, and a predictable nighttime routine.

Keep your toddler in their own sleep environment to encourage independent sleep, and if transitioning from a crib to a big kid bed, offer comfort items, use positive reinforcement, and allow time to adjust gradually.

Limit screen time before bed, keep the room dark and quiet, and offer a favorite stuffed animal for comfort.

Consistency is key for better sleep and overall mood.

Well rested toddlers = happy parents.

Call our office if your toddler struggles with sleep. Our team can provide personalized strategies that work for your family in order to help your child rest better.

“The absolute best office you’ll find in North Texas!”

Arbor Pediatrics is the absolute best office you’ll find in North Texas! This is no exaggeration. First off, their staff is so prompt and efficient. They make every attempt to get you in same day if you need it and greet you with such a smile! They make paperwork easy and the check in process happens as you walk in the door, they’ve got it handled.

“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.
