• Ear Infections
  Pneumococcal conjugate (Prevnar): Given at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months and 15 months. Infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria can cause serious illness and death. Invasive pneumococcal disease is responsible for about 200 deaths each year among children under 5 years of age, and is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in the U.S. (Meningitis is an infection of the covering of the brain). It causes severe diseases, including meningitis, blood infections and ear infections (ear infections have many causes, and pneumococcal vaccine is effective against only some of them). It can also lead to other health problems, including pneumonia, deafness and brain damage. The bacteria are spread from person to person through close contact; at highest risk are children under the age of two, and the infection can be hard to treat because the bacteria have become resistant to some of the drugs used to threat them.
• Family Practice
  The portal provides parents with a HIPAA secure environment in which to view and obtain private health information, and communicate with us on a variety of healthcare needs. To get started you will need a valid email address, which is what links you to your family health records, and what the system uses to identify you as the parent of a patient at the practice. If you need help registering at the new portal, or if you have any questions or concerns, please email portal@abcdpediatrics.com.

Psychiatrists

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  Many of our patients are being treated for ADHD, a common condition that is controlled through a number of therapies, including medication. These medications are on the official list of CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES, which means that they require special attention from your doctor. It is more difficult and more costly to obtain prescriptions for these medications, and they are not yet approved for ordering through the prescription hub. You will be given special instructions concerning these medications and it is important that you follow the rules exactly to ensure that your child receives the medication appropriately. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause; however, the rules are designed for the safety of your child.

Dermatologists

• Lesions
  Currently, the risk of monkeypox infection to the public remains low. Individuals should be aware of the symptoms of monkeypox and seek medical attention if they experience new, unexplained rashes or skin lesions. Recently identified cases have involved skin lesions in the genital, groin, and anal regions that might be confused with rashes caused by common diseases such as herpes and syphilis. Other early symptoms of monkeypox include fever, chills, and swollen lymph nodes. More information here.
