Preventative Care
From newborn infants to college kids, keeping your children healthy is our primary goal. We offer well-child checkups to monitor your child's growth and development and provide anticipatory guidance for every age. During these visits, we provide vaccines and recommended testing for kids and follow up on chronic medical issues - everything needed for day-care, school, and sports physicals.
Immunizations
One of the most important services we can provide to our patients is vaccinations against life threatening diseases. As medical professionals, we feel that vaccinating children following the recommended schedule with currently available vaccines is absolutely the right thing to do for all children and young adults.
Sick Visits - including same-day appointments
As a parent, when your child is sick, you want one thing: to get him or her better as soon as possible. At Redbird Pediatrics, we are committed to getting your children into our office as quickly as possible, and most of the time can offer to see them the day you call. At every visit, we take the time to discuss your child's symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. This includes the rationale use of antibiotics only when they are indicated.
Virtual Visits
Virtual Visits are a great way to obtain care for common issues without having to bring your child into the office. With our virtual visit option, you are able to get the same great care from your child’s pediatrician via your smartphone, just like you would if you were being seen in person.
Testing
We offer a variety of rapid-result in-office tests to help diagnose many common pediatric illnesses, including COVID-19, strep throat, influenza, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), anemia (low hemoglobin), lead toxicity, kidney and urinary tract diseases and cholesterol/lipid abnormalities.
Lactation Assitance
New moms need support and information when learning to breastfeed. We offer in-office consultations with Dr. Johnston to help moms overcome whatever challenges they may face in feeding their baby.
Behavioral Health
Frequent monitoring of development and school-performance is vital in maintaining healthy kids. We routinely screen younger children for Autism and offer evaluation and treatment for kids with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Mental Health
Many children have fears and worries, and may feel sad and hopeless from time to time. Anxiety and depression can affect more that 10% of kids before the age of 17. We evaluate, treat, and help facilitate a team-based approach to your child's mental health issues.
