Pediatrics
PTHA is committed to providing compassionate care to children and their families. We care for children of all ages from newborn to adolescence.
Well Child Visits
Childhood is a time of rapid growth and change. You will have well child visits most often when your child is developing the fastest. Well child visits are key times for communication. Expect to be given information about normal development, nutrition, sleep, safety and other important topics. These visits are the perfect time to ask and receive information and discuss any concerns you may have.
Vaccines
We strongly believe in and recommend vaccines. Vaccines are some of the most important tools available for preventing disease, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Vaccinations not only protect children from developing a potentially serious disease but also protect the community by reducing the spread of infectious disease.

The Benefits of Well-child Visits
Prevention
Your child gets scheduled immunizations to prevent illness. You also can ask your pediatrician about nutrition and safety in the home and at school.
Tracking growth & development
See how much your child has grown in the time since your last visit, and talk with your doctor about your child’s development. You can discuss your child’s milestones, social behaviors and learning.
Raising any concerns
Make a list of topics you want to talk about with your child’s pediatrician such as development, behavior, sleep, eating, or getting along with other family members. Bring your top three to five questions or concerns with you to talk with your pediatrician at the start of the visit.
Team approach
Regular visits create strong, trustworthy relationships among pediatrician, parent and child. The AAP recommends well-child visits as a way for pediatricians and parents to serve the needs of children. This team approach helps develop optimal physical, mental and social health of a child.
