Pediatric Medical Services
Our staff of Medical Professionals have seen thousands of sick children since 1974. We employ excellent techniques and apply advanced technology in an effort to quickly diagnose/treat illnesses.
Here are some the the services we provide:
Same Day Sick Visits
We provide an ample amount of slots in our schedule to accommodate sick visits. During flu season, we open our schedule up for more sick visits. If by chance you are unable to obtain a same day appointment or unsure if you really need to come in, our highly trained Advice Nurses will assess your child's chief medical complaint and offer assistance in the most appropriate course of action which, in some cases may be to go directly to the emergency room.
Well-Child Checkups
If your child is 24 months or younger, they are most likely on a checkup schedule. After 2 years of age, your child should have a yearly check-up. Well-child checkups focus on health and developmental issues. These checkups are also our best opportunity to vaccinate your child against common "childhood illnesses". If you would like to schedule a check-up, you may use our online form.
The Teen Center
At "The Teen Center" we try and balance the desire of the teen to move to a more mature location for his/her health care needs with the desire of the parents to remain with a provider they trust... Gwinnett Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
Our Teen Center has a completely separate location with it's own waiting area, exam rooms with special tables, and a decor that appeals to our teen and young adult patients.
The Teen Center Specializing in... Well Teen Annual Check-ups, Sports Physicals, Adolescent Gynecology (GYN), Acne, Adolescent Development, Adolescent Immunizations, and other Adolescent concerns.
Sports Physicals
Most schools require some sort of a physician's certification in order for your child to participate in a school-sponsored athletic program. Your child's sports physical will be conducted quickly and efficiently in an environment which is suitable to his or her needs. If your child has had a recent physical at GPAM, an additional exam may not be necessary.
Advice Nurse Line
We have made a substantial investment in acquiring highly trained registered nurses with acute pediatric hospital experience. Our Advice Nurse Line is always inundated with calls since they provide such an invaluable service. Please feel free to call on our Advice Nurse line if you are a current patient. The Advice Nurses follow Barton Schmitt protocols and are in direct contact with our physicians via email and phone to always keep them abreast of your child's needs.
Immunizations
The last twenty years have seen many of the "childhood illnesses" greatly diminish in this country. This is mostly due to the development and expansion of a strong childhood immunization program through such entities as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the U.S. Communicable Disease Center (CDC). Please see our immunization policy and visit our Immunizations page for more information.
