CARE & SERVICES

Comprehensive pediatric services to support your child's health and development

Well Visits & Preventive Care

Wellness visits provide an important opportunity to follow your child’s health and development throughout every stage of growth. During these routine appointments, our pediatric providers focus on preventive health and age-appropriate needs. Each visit helps us:

  • Track physical growth
  • Assess developmental progress
  • Promote healthy habits and long-term wellness

Sick Visits

Sick visits provide timely attention when your child develops symptoms that need to be evaluated by a pediatric provider. These appointments can help identify the cause and determine the appropriate next steps for concerns such as:

  • Fever
  • Cough or congestion
  • Ear pain
  • Sore throat
  • Stomach or digestive concerns

Counseling & Behavioral Health

A counseling and behavioral healthcare visit allows our team to carefully evaluate you and provide the support you deserve. Each visit is designed to understand underlying concerns, build healthy coping skills, and help you grow with confidence and resilience. Our counseling services include:

  • Behavioral parent training
  • Social skills training
  • Behavioral intervention plans
  • Anxiety, depression, and ADHD treatment services

Telehealth

Telehealth visits offer families a convenient way to connect with a SouthernMED Pediatrics provider from home for certain non-emergency concerns. During the virtual appointment, we’ll review your child’s symptoms, provide recommendations, and determine whether an in-person visit is needed. Telehealth may be appropriate for:

  • Colds and coughs
  • Rashes and allergies
  • Pink eye
  • Minor stomach concerns

Immunizations & Vaccines

When your child is due for vaccines, an immunization appointment allows our pediatric care team to review their health and provide the protection they need. Each visit is designed to follow recommended schedules, ensure vaccines are given safely, and support your child’s long-term health and well-being.

  • Vaccine education and guidance
  • Alternative and catch-up scheduling
  • Answers to your vaccine questions
  • Safe, age-appropriate administration

Lactation Consultation & Support

Lactation consultations offer dedicated time to discuss your feeding experience and address concerns for both you and your baby. Each appointment is tailored to your family’s needs and may include:

  • Reviewing feeding patterns, routines, and concerns
  • Observing latch, positioning, and milk transfer
  • Recommending practical adjustments to improve comfort and feeding progress

School, Sports & Camp Physicals

School, sports, and camp physicals provide a convenient and reliable way to ensure your child is healthy and ready for participation in these activities. Our providers perform comprehensive exams, complete required forms, and offer guidance to support your child’s safety and well-being.

Other Specialty Services

Specialty services give families access to focused pediatric attention for needs that may extend beyond routine visits. Our pediatric providers take time to assess your child’s specific concerns, explain available options, and develop practical next steps based on their health and development.

    As your child grows and develops, our pediatric care team is here to help with behavior, speech, nutrition, milestones, and common childhood illnesses while providing regular wellness visits and immunizations along the way.

  • Children in bright colors with arms wrapped around each other

    Adolescence

    As children enter their school-age years, new concerns may arise around learning, focus, friendships, and emotional development. Routine visits, physicals, and age-appropriate guidance help us keep your children stay healthy, active, and confident.

  • Teenager with purple tie dye shirt and hands behind head

    Teenagers

    As teens move toward adulthood, conversations often shift toward emotional health, independence, and lifelong habits. Through preventive visits, sports physicals, and open communication, we help them take a more active role in their health.
