At Good Pediatrics, Dr. Good and her team guide families through the process of raising a healthy child by offering a comprehensive range of pediatric services. We not only diagnose and treat problems, we take the time to get to know you and each patient, so we can monitor and predict their development
Preventive Care Services
Vaccinations
Disease prevention starts right at birth with Good Pediatrics commitment to establishing successful breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is your baby’s first vaccine! After that, we administer the AAP and CDC recommended vaccinations.
Maternal Depression Screening
A newborns health is tied closely with the physical and mental health of its mother and family. For this reason, we administer the Edinburgh Post Natal Depression Screening Test to mothers at the initial visit, 2 weeks, 1, 3, 4, and 6 months. If an issue is identified, we can refer you to a mental healthcare provider or to your primary physician.
Autism Screen (MCHAT)
Good Pediatrics utilizes the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers at the 18 mo & 24 mo visits to identify toddlers showing early signs of behaviors potentially associated with Autism. If a concern is raised, proper referrals for further evaluation are arranged.
Pediavision/Vision Screening
Good Pediatrics offers a state-of-the-art way of evaluating your baby’s and child’s vision long before they are developmentally able to cooperate with an interactive vision test. The test can detect refractive errors, amblyopia (“lazy eye”), strabismus (“cross-eye”), anisocoria (different pupil sizes) and media opacities (cataracts, irregularly shaped cornea/lens) as well as near or farsightedness. We offer it yearly starting at 12 months of age.
Vitamin K
All newborns receive a Vitamin K injection immediately after birth this prevents brain and other bleeding after birth and for the weeks following.
PSC-17
The Pediatric Symptoms Checklist is a comprehensive screening tool designed to identify problems in mental health, attention, and behavior. It is given to parents of 6–11 year old and to the patient beginning at age 12 years.
Adolescent Medicine
Good Pediatrics is strongly committed to caring for adolescents. During the teen years there are unique medical, mental, and social concerns. Starting at 12 years of age, a more in-depth screening helps identify and treat teen medical issues, risky behaviors, and depression. We also offer the HPV vaccine to 11-year-old girls and boys.
Newborn State Screening Tests
Before hospital discharge, your baby will have blood drawn for a panel of tests that can identify certain metabolic and inherited diseases. The panel includes screening for thyroid disorders, cystic fibrosis, and other rare diseases. This test is important as many of the disorders it identifies can be treated if known early in a baby’s life.
Bloodwork Cholesterol/Lipid Screening & Vit D
At 11 and 14 years old, as well as when nutritional deficiencies and/or abnormal body mass index are identified, blood cholesterol & Vitamin D levels will be checked. These tests identify patients with inherited disorders of lipid metabolism and. or vitamin D 3 deficiency. Early identification of lipid disorders allows dietary treatment of this potentially life altering condition. Sufficient vitamin D3 levels are important for bone growth, immune and brain function.
Cardiac Screening
In order to screen for life threatening cardiac defects after birth, a newborn’s upper and lower extremity oxygen percentage will be measured before discharge from hospital.
Ages & Stages Developmental Screen
Good Pediatrics offers the Ages & Stages Development test to identify children with potential developmental delays. This test consists of a several page online questionnaire administered each preventative visit. If a delay is discovered, proper referrals for further evaluation will be arranged.
Circumcision
Good Pediatrics offers the Ages & Stages Development test to identify children with potential developmental delays. This test consists of a several page online questionnaire administered each preventative visit. If a delay is discovered, proper referrals for further evaluation will be arranged.
