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.

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.

The holidays can bring excitement, stress, or disappointment for children.

Changes in routine - like later bedtimes, new schedules, or extra activities - can also cause stress and lead to behavior changes. Encourage children to express feelings with words, take calming breaks, and participate in planning to feel more in control.

Modeling healthy coping strategies helps children learn to manage emotions effectively.

If your child struggles with big emotions or behavior during the holidays, call our office for support and resources.

Vaccines do more than protect your individual child - they help prevent the spread of disease to classmates, family members, and the community.

Immunizations reduce outbreaks, protect vulnerable populations, like newborns and the elderly, and keep children healthy so they can attend school and activities safely.

Stay up to date on your child’s vaccines. Call our office to schedule or review their immunization status today.

Rashes are common in children and can range from mild irritation to signs of infection.

Some rashes, like eczema or heat rash, are usually harmless, while others such as rashes with fever, spreading redness, or blisters require prompt evaluation.

Pay attention to symptoms like pain, swelling, or changes in behavior.

If you’re unsure whether your child’s rash needs attention, call our office and we can guide you on next steps and provide timely 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.
