Inspired by patients. Created for parents.

Arbor Pediatrics was founded on the belief that long-term relationships, continuity of care, and open, accessible communication with your pediatrician are essential elements to great pediatric care.

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!)

Check out our upcoming events.

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.

Welcoming a new baby into your home is a life-changing event for the entire family, including your furry friends! 

While your pets might be excited to meet the newest addition, it’s important to introduce them carefully to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe.

Before the baby arrives, begin making gradual changes to your routine so your pet can adjust. When you bring the baby home, give your pet a little time to get used to the new smells, sights, and sounds. Allow them to sniff the baby’s blanket or clothing first. When it’s time for the face-to-face introduction, keep the pet on a leash or in a controlled space to ensure safety, and always supervise interactions closely. 

Babies need their space, and so do your pets. Designate areas in the house (such as the nursery or certain rooms) where your pets are not allowed. This helps establish boundaries and allows your baby to have a calm, safe environment to sleep and play.

We want to see your adorable furry friends with your kiddos. Share your pics below.

Is it time for your child’s refill?

Medication management does require a visit at least once a year in our office, but some medications require follow up more often. For medications such as antihistamines, nose sprays, and birth control, your child only needs to have an annual wellness visit to keep these medication refills active. A visit should be scheduled sooner if your child is having any issues related to their condition. 

Asthma and mental health medications typically need a visit every 3 months to keep medications active at the pharmacy. 

If you are unsure if your child is due for a medication follow up or an annual wellness visit, call our office today to speak to one of our team.

As parents, it’s natural to feel a sense of worry and concern about your child’s well-being. But sometimes, those worries can escalate into something more overwhelming. Parental anxiety is real and can affect parents of children of all ages. Whether your child is a toddler, a teenager, or an adult living on their own, the weight of responsibility for their health, safety, and happiness can sometimes feel like too much to bear.

What does parental anxiety look like? Constant worry, difficulty letting go, physical symptoms, overprotectiveness, constant comparison.

As much as we want to protect our children and ensure they have everything they need to succeed, it’s important to recognize when the stress is starting to take a toll on your own mental health. Parental anxiety can impact your ability to connect with your child, make thoughtful decisions, and take care of your own well-being.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, it’s important to remember that there’s no shame in seeking support. Arbor Pediatrics is here not only to support your child’s health but also to guide you in managing your own stress. 

We can help connect you with resources and advice on how to manage anxiety as a parent. Call our office today to schedule your child an appointment with one of our providers to discuss ways we can help get you and your family plugged in with the right resources.
