Pediatrics Primary Care

Complete Care for Children of all Ages 

Primary care doctors (also called primary care physicians or primary care providers) provide both the first point of contact for patients with an undiagnosed health concern as well as continuing care for varied medical conditions, not limited by cause, organ system, or diagnosis.

Primary care doctors take care of their patient's physical, mental, and emotional health and are trained to care for patients through each life stage. These general doctors provide patients with routine check-ups and treat common medical problems, such as ear infections, gastrointestinal diseases, and arthritis, referring patients to specialists when needed.

Different Types of Primary Care Doctors

At Crystal Run Healthcare, our pediatric primary care providers include:

• Pediatricians – Who treat children under 21
• Internal Medicine/Pediatrics physicians – Who treat both children and adults
• Family Medicine doctors – Who see patients of all ages
• Nurse Practitioners – Highly trained nurses qualified to treat patients without the direct supervision of a doctor
• Physicians Assistants – Provide medical and surgical care alongside a doctor

Some prefer a family physician who can treat each member of the family. Family doctors have undergone special training to treat patients of every age—infants, teens, adults, and seniors alike.

Whether you choose a family practitioner or pediatrician, your child’s primary care provider at Crystal Run Healthcare will manage and coordinate all their healthcare needs; he or she will help you with all of the following:

• Prevention and wellness strategies
