About Child

Pediatric care, often referred to as 'child' care, is a comprehensive medical specialty focused on the physical, emotional, and social health of children from birth through adolescence. A pediatrician provides continuous and preventative healthcare, including routine check-ups, vaccinations, developmental screenings, and the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses. This holistic approach ensures optimal growth and development by monitoring milestones, providing nutritional guidance, and offering parental counseling. Pediatric care is essential for early detection of health issues, managing conditions like asthma or allergies, and fostering lifelong healthy habits. It is a patient-centered practice that builds a long-term relationship between the doctor, child, and family to support overall well-being.

PATIENT REVIEW

Diya Malhotra is a bright and...

Diya Malhotra is a bright and energetic 7-year-old who loves dancing and school. For the past six months, her parents noticed she was constantly tired, getting frequent fevers and unexplained bruises, and had lost her appetite. After several visits to their pediatrician and blood tests showing concerning abnormalities, Diya was referred to a pediatric hematologist-oncologist. The doctor, with great empathy, explained that a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy was necessary to determine why her blood counts were so low and to rule out serious conditions like leukemia. The procedure day was frightening for Diya and her family. The medical team was wonderful, using child-friendly language and allowing her mother to stay by her side. They used a topical numbing cream and light sedation to make her comfortable. Diya felt pressure but no sharp pain. After the 30-minute procedure, she rested in recovery with a popsicle and a new stuffed animal from the child life specialist. The results came back a few days later, thankfully showing Diya had a severe but treatable form of aplastic anemia, not cancer. The emotional journey was a rollercoaster from fear of the unknown and terrifying 'what-ifs' to immense relief and a clear path forward. While treatment lies ahead, the family felt a burden lift, empowered to fight the known enemy with a targeted plan.
