- Pediatric CareWe are proud to announce that Southwest Pediatrics earned PCMH level 3 certification in September 2016. PCMH stands for Patient Centered Medical Home. Level 3 certification is granted to offices that demonstrate the highest level of communication, accessibility and coordination of their patients’ care.
- ImmunizationsYou can inquire about these vaccines at our office. We offer this program at our Palos Park office. So if your child meets any of the above criteria, you may be asked to schedule your child’s well exam and flu vaccines at our Palos Park office or will be directed there for your child’s immunizations after a visit at the Mokena office.
- Eye ExamPlease note that prior to kindergarten your child will need an eye exam by optometrist and pediatric dental screen.
- Pregnancy
- AutismWe, at Southwest Pediatrics, believe in the effectiveness of vaccines to prevent serious illness and save lives; we also believe in their safety. Infants, children and adolescents should receive all the recommended vaccines according to the schedule published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Current medical literature based on solid scientific research shows that vaccines are not associated with nor do they cause autism or any other developmental disability. We recommend that vaccines be given according to the recommended schedule since deviating from this schedule can place your child at risk for disease. If you have questions and concerns, we encourage you to discuss your child’s vaccines with us.
