Into the teen years, regular wellness checks are also important. Teenagers go through many life changes, especially with their health. From physical changes like puberty, to mental health and social development, these critical years shape teens into young adults. It is the time for adolescents to lay a good foundation for their health, but they need the right information and health services that are appropriate and effective for their age.
Choosing a pediatrician is an important decision. When meeting with a pediatrician there is much to consider, not just with education and experience, but accessibility, personality, and sense of ‘fit’ with your family. Trust is key to working with your pediatrician to ensure you are confident in the care you receive.

Pediatric care at OceanMed involves a team focused outlook headed by Dr. Balang.
