We are excited to welcome a new provider to the Arbor Pediatrics team! Collin Naugher is a Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner who joins us from North Fort Worth, where he has been practicing pediatric primary care for the last eight years.
College life can be exciting AND overwhelming. From academic pressure to homesickness, young adults often juggle more than they show. Encourage regular check-ins, normalize asking for help, and remind them that their mental health matters. Help them set up new routines for their new life that include exercise, socialization, and sleep. Exercise, good diet, and adequate sleep are three of the most important things for a young adult`s mental and physical health.
Most colleges offer counseling services at the student health center that can give support and life skills. Also, we’re still here as a resource while they adjust to life on their own.

One of the biggest benefits of a consistent medical home?
Your provider knows your child - how they grow, how they cope, and what’s changed since the last visit. That relationship means more personalized care, quicker answers, and a whole lot more trust. We’re honored to be part of your family’s health journey. At Arbor Pediatrics we strive to ensure your child is scheduled with the provider of your choice for all well visits. For sick visits we strive to have your child seen the same day so you may be placed with one of our other pediatric providers.

Antibiotics are not always needed, but when they are, make sure you give your child the entire course.
The research of antibiotics has allowed us to know how many days of the medicine is needed to completely get rid of the infection. If you stop the antibiotic too soon, your child’s infection may rebound or they may develop resistance to the antibiotic. Also, after completing the entire course of the antibiotic make sure you throw away any leftover medicine. A child should never be given leftover antibiotics or given antibiotics prescribed to someone else. Antibiotics given before a diagnosis is made can alter results of tests such as a throat swab or urine culture.
