Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with the with the care of infants and
children and the treatment of their diseases. LCFP physicians are trained in treating
children from the moment they are born.
Many of our physicians have children of their own, so their treatment of your children
comes from experience as well as training. They too, have been up through the night with
earaches, upset stomachs and fevers. It is nice to know that the advice they give you is
the same advice they rely on themselves.
One of the very important aspects of pediatric care is ensuring that infants and
children receive recommended immunizations.
The annual recommended childhood and adolescent immunization schedule of the American Academy of
Pediatrics, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, and the American Academy of Family Physicians is issued for 2006.
