Pediatric care at Studer Family Children’s Hospital
Board-certified pediatricians at Studer Family Children’s Hospital provide primary care for infants, children and teens. Each appointment starts with a conversation between you, your child and your child’s pediatrician. We take the time to get to know your child and family. Then, we deliver care that’s right for your child. Our pediatricians care for the whole child, including newborn care, regular checkups and vaccinations, care when your child is sick, and care for mental and emotional health. And if your child needs advanced specialty care, your child’s pediatrician connects you with the right pediatric specialists at Studer Family Children’s Hospital. Our pediatricians work closely with pediatric surgeons, GI doctors, pediatric cardiologists, neurologists, therapists, and more – so that your child’s care is always connected.
Prenatal consultations with your baby’s pediatrician
If you are an expecting parent, you may want to choose your baby’s pediatrician before they are born. We provide prenatal consultations so that you can select the right pediatrician and care team for your new family. Together, we can discuss any concerns you may have and what to expect once your baby is born. And you can start a trusted relationship with a pediatrician that continues as your child grows.
