Pediatrician

A pediatrician is a medical doctor who specializes in the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents, typically up to age 18. They monitor growth and development, diagnose and treat illnesses, and provide preventive care, including vaccinations. Pediatricians also offer guidance to parents on child health, nutrition, and behavior. Their training includes a focus on the unique physical, emotional, and social needs of young patients. By building long-term relationships, pediatricians help ensure that children develop healthily and receive comprehensive care throughout their childhood and teenage years.
