Pediatrics
Pediatric Care at Satori Health
Pediatrics is a branch of medicine entirely devoted to the well-being of infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatricians are specially trained professionals who excel in delivering expert medical care, preventive measures, and treatment for a diverse range of pediatric conditions such as respiratory infections, allergies, childhood obesity, behavioural disorders, and developmental delays.
Children's growth and development are closely monitored by skilled pediatricians who play an essential role in identifying and managing childhood illnesses. In cases requiring focused attention, like autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and intellectual disabilities, developmental pediatricians can step in to provide care. These experts are dedicated to assessing and managing developmental and behavioural issues in children.
