Pediatrics

Pediatricians are doctors who provide care for the unique needs of children during their critical developmental years (birth to age 21). Rely on Essentia’s pediatricians to provide compassionate and comprehensive care during your child’s journey to adulthood, including:

• Preventive care, such as well-child/teen visits and routine screenings
• Growth and development monitoring
• Diagnosing and treating illnesses, infections, and injuries
• Managing chronic conditions

If your child has a complex health situation, a pediatrician can address potential problems early and refer your child to a pediatric specialist. Take advantage of Essentia’s collaborative, streamlined process for coordinating care.

Essentia’s staff is driven to make sure you and your child have a positive experience. Trust our team of professionals to:

• Get to know your child and family
• Help you navigate the health care system
• Schedule appointments and coordinate follow-up care
• Send information to all the members of your child’s health care team
• Update your child’s care plan

You can count on this team to work together and care for your child as if they were their own. Parents can access their child's medical record via Essentia's MyChart portal. With MyChart, you can schedule appointments with your child's family medicine doctor or pediatrician and communicate with their care team online. i
