Our Philosophy

We are committed to health maintenance and prevention of serious illness in children using a thorough systematic approach. we strongly believe that proper diet and exercise as well as healthy television viewing habits are crucial to a child's well being. This approach begins in the prenatal visit with the expecting parents and continues during every well child visit thereafter. During each well child visit discussions include parental concerns and questions, proper eating and exercise habits, developmental milestones as well as a discussion of vaccines.

We at progressive Pediatrics are strong supporters of moms who wish to breastfeed. We work closely with lactation consultants as well as the nurses in the hospital to insure proper technique and ultimate breastfeeding success. We support and encourage exclusive breastfeeding when possible for the first six months of life.

We believe in prescribing antibiotics with caution and only when absolutely necessary and appropriate for bacterial infections. The common cold or other viral illnesses can not be successfully treated using antibiotics.
