24-Hour On-Call PediatricianAn on-call pediatrician is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Allergy Testing and TreatmentAllergy testing involves having a skin or blood test to determine what substance , or allergen, may trigger an allergic response in a person. Treatment options can range from lifestyle changes to medication to immunotherapy (allergy shots). Ambulatory Blood Pressure MonitoringAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a method of taking regular blood pressure readings, usually over a 24-hour period, as patients conduct their normal activities. A special, automatic blood pressure monitor is used, and patients are asked to keep a diary or log of their activities during the day. Annual PhysicalsA "preventative care" physician visit during which standard health tests are performed, depending on gender and age. Tests may include things such as blood pressure, a breast and/or pelvic exam, prostate exam, cholesterol screening, vaccines or booster shots. Blood TestsBlood tests can reveal numerous diseases and conditions. Bone Density Testing (DEXA Scan)A bone density test, or DEXA Scan, is a noninvasive, evaluation procedure that uses x-rays to measure bone mass or the weight of the skeleton. The amount of bone in the skeleton determines how strong it is. Bone densitometry is often used to measure bone mass in the spine, hips and arms, as these are the areas most likely to fracture when bone mass is low. Newborn CareTreatment received by a newborn child from the date of birth until 30 days following discharge from the hospital. Pediatric and Adolescent Well VisitsA well-visit is a preventive care appointment that will ensure your child stays healthy, keeping them up-to-date on immunizations, and tracking other things like blood pressure, height and weight. Pulmonary Function TestA test designed to measure how well the lungs are working. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) gauge how the lungs are carrying out their tasks -- of expanding and contracting (when a person inhales and exhales) and of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide efficiently between the air (or other gases) within the lungs and the blood. Throat CulturesA throat culture is a test to detect and identify a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection in the throat.
Treatment of Minor EmergenciesTreatment of minor health-related issues such as minor injuries or illnesses. UrinalysisA group of physical and chemical tests done on a sample of urine to check for various disorders, including those of the kidneys and urinary tract. Vision ScreeningAn eye examination which can determine vision function as well as screen for potential problems or diseases.
