Comprehensive Pediatric & Adolescent Care for Every Stage
Children's healthcare needs change dramatically from infancy through the teenage years. Infants require frequent monitoring and immunizations. Toddlers face developmental milestones and common childhood illnesses. School age children need physicals, vaccinations, and attention to learning and behavioral concerns. Teenagers navigate puberty, mental health challenges, and preparation for independence. Quality pediatric & adolescent care addresses each stage with age appropriate attention.
At Lani City Medical, we understand that caring for children requires more than medical knowledge. It requires patience, gentleness, and the ability to communicate with both young patients and their parents. Our providers take time to explain what we are doing, answer questions, and help children feel safe during their visits. This approach to pediatric & adolescent care builds trust that makes healthcare a positive experience rather than a source of anxiety.
Founded in 2019 by Dr. Lalwani and Dr. Khemlani, our practice was established to provide consistent, efficient, and honest healthcare where patients are not just a number. Our pediatric & adolescent care services embody this philosophy, treating every child as an individual with unique needs and every family as a valued partner in their child's health.
Well-Child Exams and School Physicals
Supporting Healthy Development
Well-child exams are the foundation of pediatric & adolescent care, providing regular opportunities to assess your child's growth, development, and overall health. These visits allow us to catch potential problems early, ensure vaccinations stay on schedule, and provide guidance to parents on nutrition, safety, and age appropriate expectations.
- Well-child visits also provide important opportunities for anticipatory guidance. We discuss what to expect in the coming months, including developmental changes, common health issues, and safety considerations relevant to your child's age. This proactive approach to pediatric & adolescent care helps parents prepare for each stage of their child's growth.
- During well-child exams, we measure height, weight, and other growth parameters, tracking your child's progress against established growth charts. We assess developmental milestones appropriate for your child's age, including motor skills, language development, social skills, and cognitive abilities. Our pediatric & adolescent care approach includes discussing any concerns you have about your child's development and providing reassurance or referrals as needed.
School and Academic Physicals
Most schools require physical examinations before enrollment or at specific grade levels to ensure students are healthy enough to participate fully in educational activities. Our pediatric & adolescent care services include school physicals that meet these requirements while providing thorough health assessment.
- School physicals evaluate your child's overall health status, vision, hearing, and any conditions that might affect learning or school participation. We complete required forms and provide documentation schools need for their records. Our efficient approach ensures families can complete these pediatric & adolescent care requirements quickly, with most patients in and out of our clinics in less than 60 minutes.
- We use school physical visits as opportunities to address any health concerns that might affect academic performance. Vision or hearing problems, attention difficulties, and chronic health conditions can all impact learning. Identifying these issues during pediatric & adolescent care visits allows for timely intervention that supports educational success.
Vaccinations and Immunization Updates
Protecting Your Child's Health
Vaccinations are among the most important aspects of pediatric & adolescent care, protecting children from serious and potentially life threatening diseases. Immunizations have dramatically reduced childhood illness and death from conditions like measles, whooping cough, and meningitis. Keeping your child's vaccinations current is essential for their health and the health of your community.
- Our pediatric & adolescent care services include all recommended childhood and adolescent immunizations. We follow the vaccination schedule established by medical experts, ensuring children receive protection at the ages when they are most vulnerable to specific diseases. We maintain careful records of your child's immunization history and remind you when vaccines are due.
- We understand that some parents have questions or concerns about vaccinations. Our providers take time to discuss the benefits and safety of immunizations, address misconceptions, and provide evidence based information. This educational approach to pediatric & adolescent care helps families make informed decisions about their children's health.
Catching Up on Missed Vaccinations
Sometimes children fall behind on vaccinations due to missed appointments, insurance changes, or other circumstances. Our pediatric & adolescent care services include catch up immunization schedules that help children get back on track safely. We assess which vaccines are needed based on your child's age and immunization history, then create a plan to complete the series appropriately.
- Adolescents have specific vaccination needs, including boosters for earlier immunizations and new vaccines recommended during the teenage years. Our pediatric & adolescent care providers ensure teenagers receive these important protections as they prepare for college, employment, and independent living.
- Our in house capabilities allow us to administer most vaccines during your visit, avoiding the need for separate pharmacy trips. This convenience makes it easier to keep your child's pediatric & adolescent care on schedule.
Growth, Nutrition, and Behavioral Health
Monitoring Healthy Growth
Children grow at different rates, and what is normal varies considerably from child to child. However, tracking growth patterns over time helps identify potential problems that warrant attention. Our pediatric & adolescent care includes careful monitoring of growth parameters and evaluation when patterns raise concerns.
- We plot your child's height, weight, and body mass index on standardized growth charts, comparing their measurements to other children of the same age and gender. More importantly, we track how your child's growth changes over time, looking for patterns that might indicate nutritional issues, hormonal problems, or other health concerns. This longitudinal approach to pediatric & adolescent care provides context that single measurements cannot offer.
- When growth patterns suggest potential problems, we investigate further with appropriate testing and evaluation. Sometimes apparent growth concerns turn out to be normal variations. Other times, early identification allows for intervention that improves outcomes. Either way, careful monitoring is an essential component of pediatric & adolescent care.
Nutrition Guidance for Every Age
Proper nutrition fuels healthy growth and development, yet many families struggle with feeding challenges at various stages. Infants may have feeding difficulties or food sensitivities. Toddlers often become picky eaters. School age children face temptations from unhealthy foods. Teenagers may develop concerning eating patterns. Our pediatric & adolescent care addresses nutrition across all these stages.
- We provide age appropriate nutrition guidance tailored to your child's needs and your family's circumstances. For younger children, we discuss introducing solid foods, managing picky eating, and ensuring adequate nutrient intake. For older children and teenagers, we address healthy eating habits, appropriate weight management, and nutrition for athletic performance. This personalized approach to pediatric & adolescent care supports lifelong healthy eating patterns.
- When children have specific nutritional concerns such as food allergies, failure to thrive, or obesity, we provide focused evaluation and management. Our pediatric & adolescent care may include dietary recommendations, referrals to nutrition specialists, or treatment of underlying conditions affecting nutrition.
Supporting Behavioral and Emotional Wellness
Children's health encompasses more than physical wellbeing. Behavioral and emotional health significantly impact development, learning, and quality of life. Our pediatric & adolescent care services include attention to behavioral health concerns that affect many families.
- Common behavioral issues we address include attention difficulties, hyperactivity, anxiety, mood changes, sleep problems, and behavioral challenges at home or school. We screen for these concerns during well-child visits and provide evaluation when parents or teachers raise concerns. Early identification of behavioral health issues allows for timely intervention that can change your child's trajectory.
- Adolescence brings particular emotional health challenges as teenagers navigate identity development, peer relationships, academic pressures, and physical changes. Our pediatric & adolescent care for teenagers includes attention to mental health, providing screening for depression and anxiety and connecting families with appropriate resources when needed.
Sports and Camp Physicals
Clearing Young Athletes for Competition
Participation in sports provides tremendous benefits for children and teenagers, including physical fitness, teamwork skills, and personal confidence. Before taking the field, most sports programs require medical clearance confirming athletes are healthy enough to participate safely. Our pediatric & adolescent care services include sports physicals that meet these requirements thoroughly and efficiently.
- Sports physicals evaluate overall health status with particular attention to factors affecting athletic safety. We assess cardiovascular health, looking for conditions that might pose risks during strenuous activity. We evaluate musculoskeletal status, including any previous injuries that might affect participation. We review medical history, including family history of cardiac problems that could affect young athletes.
- Beyond clearance, sports physicals provide opportunities to discuss injury prevention, proper conditioning, hydration, and nutrition for athletic performance. Our pediatric & adolescent care approach prepares young athletes for safe, successful sports participation.
Camp and Activity Clearance
Summer camps and various youth activities often require health clearance before participation. These requirements protect all participants by ensuring children are healthy and have documentation of necessary immunizations. Our pediatric & adolescent care services include camp physicals that satisfy these requirements.
- We complete required camp health forms, document immunization status, and note any health conditions camp staff should know about. For children with chronic conditions like asthma, allergies, or diabetes, we provide information camps need to manage these conditions safely. This comprehensive approach to pediatric & adolescent care ensures children can fully participate in enriching activities.
- Our efficient processes mean families can complete camp and activity physicals quickly, even when deadlines approach unexpectedly. Most patients are in and out of our clinics in less than 60 minutes, allowing you to check this item off your list without major schedule disruption.
