Pediatric Care

As a parent, you always want what’s best for your child. Your goal is to keep your child happy, healthy, and thriving. At Cotton O’Neil Pediatrics, our goal is the same as yours.

Our pediatricians care for children of all ages as well as youths transitioning into adulthood. These professionals are passionate about keeping young people healthy and strong.

Newborns and Toddlers

When you bring your little one into our clinics, we make sure that they’re on track with growth and development – from being at a healthy height and weight, to learning how to roll over.

Young Adults

As children enter adolescence and early adulthood, some topics – such as body changes or school bullying – are challenging to tackle. Our pediatricians can provide parents with guidance and tips on how to discuss these subjects.

You're in Good Hands.

Our pediatric team includes nurse practitioners and physician assistants, who provide quick, convenient care. Our pediatric clinics offer well child exams, immunizations and treatment for illnesses such as ear infections, colds, flu and other childhood diseases. Family physicians can also provide referrals to specialists as needed.

Infant Safe Sleep

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) reports that around 3,500 babies die from sleep-related incidents in the United States each year. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a safe sleep environment that can reduce the risk of all sleep-related infant deaths including Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), ill-defined deaths, and accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed.

Safe sleep practices include supine positioning, the use of a firm sleep surface, roomsharing without bed-sharing, and the avoidance of soft bedding and overheating. These recommendations are designed to reduce the chances of tragic sleep-related deaths.

It’s important for all caregivers—parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, babysitters, child care providers, and everyone who might care for baby—to learn about creating a safer sleep environment:
