Pediatric Care
We offer the full spectrum of pediatric services starting with newborn care. As a matter of fact, we use to attend deliveries and take care of newborns in the hospital until a neonatology program was established at Lake Norman Regional Medical Center. We typically see newborns about 2-7 days after hospital discharge. Our providers follow the well-established national guidelines for well-child examinations, anticipatory guidance, and childhood immunizations. We also offer same-day sick appointments. We will follow your child throughout development into early childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood. Taking care of the entire nuclear family is one of the most rewarding things we do.
Diabetes: The Three Headed Monster
We refer to diabetes as a “three headed monster” because, proper diabetic control is more than just controlling your blood sugar. In some cases, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol may be even more important than controlling your blood sugar level. There are certain medications that have been shown to decrease your risk for heart attack and stroke, and are sometimes started even with a normal blood pressure. Your average blood pressure should be 115-120/75-80. In addition, your LDL [also known as ‘bad cholesterol’], should be less than 130. By controlling all of these risk factors aggressively, we hope to dramatically impact your wellness and increase your lifespan.
