From wellness visits to allergies to pediatric weight management, we are here to provide comprehensive, family-centered medical care for your child.
What is Pediatric Care?
Pediatric care is healthcare for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults under the age of 18. It includes a broad spectrum of health services ranging from preventive medicine, and care for injuries, to the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases.
A family practice doctor, like a pediatrician, can treat infants, toddlers, young children, and teens. But unlike a pediatrician, a family doctor can continue to treat your child into adulthood, so there is no need to change doctors at 18.
At River Bend Medical Associates, we know that nothing is more important to you than your child’s health. Whether we are helping a child with a cold feel better or caring for a child with a chronic condition, our family physicians are there to help guide you.
We are passionate about developing strong connections with our pediatric patients and their families. Our experienced team of pediatric providers is trained to understand the distinct medical and emotional needs of young patients and approach children of all ages calmly and gently to ease their fears.

The first goal of pediatric family medicine is to keep kids healthy before they get sick.

These visits help to prevent illnesses and diseases with routine vaccinations, physical examinations, growth and development tracking, and resources for parenting concerns.
Annual wellness visits are often as beneficial for you, the parent, as they are for the well-being of your child. If you have concerns about your child’s health, these visits are a great time to get answers to the many questions you may have.
