Services

My services are adapted and personalized for all the evolutionary stages of your child from the prenatal consultation, the newborn and until adolescence.

CHILD CARE AND PEDIATRICS

It consist in specialized medical care for children at any time of their life. From Prenatal Consultation, Newborns, Infants, Children or Adolescents.
I guarantee the comprehensive follow up of my patients.

Prenatal Pediatric Consultation: The Pediatrician plays an important role in this period of time (prenatal education). We must work together (the Pediatrician and the Obstetrician) to help the mother to make the right decisions about the future and care of their children. The idea is to establish a more fluid parent-pediatrician relationship. We advise to do this consultation during the third Pregnancy trimester.
Well-child Consultation:The reason is the prevention, early detection of any disease, and the promotion of health for our children from the neonatal period to adolescence.
It also allows mothers and fathers to ask for any doubts about: nutrition, health, vaccines, habits, etc. It is important that the child attends to each of their check-ups, even if he or she is not longer a baby.In these consultations parents are updated in many aspects related to physical,emotional,wellbeing, vaccines,etc.
I make sure that in every visit, I give to the parents a personalize recommendation based on the characteristics of each child and their evolutionary period.
Sick-child Consultation: It consists in restoring health to every sick child who comes to my office consulting for various pathologies. I also attend Pediatric Emergencies. Meaning with these that I take care of children with acute illnesses or injuries that need urgent medical attention.
Adolescent care: The Adolescence is a stage of great vulnerability. In this period of their life, they go trough intense hormonal changes, new experiences that generate curiosity. Therefore, there is a greater risk of adopting unhealthy behaviors. Adolescent consultations could include: nutrition, vaccines, sexuality, difficulties in learning or in social relationships, risky behaviors, and use of substance… The Pediatrician knows their patients from birth, so we are able to know the condition of them (physical, psychological, and social development). Meaning that we are the ideal doctor for the care of the Adolescent, because we can observe the changing evolution of the human being from birth to Maturity.

NEWBORN CARE

This consultation is made to the child from 0 to 28 days since the baby has been born.

The first consultation should be done between 5 to 7 days after the baby has been discharge from the hospital.

” THE FIRST DAYS OF LIFE OF A NEWBORN ARE FUNDAMENTAL, BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSIS OF ANY CONDITION THAT COULD BE AFFECTING THE BABY IS IMPORTANT. AS A PEDIATRICIAN WE SHOULD MEASURE ANY DIAGNOSIS OR BE ABLE TO CORRECT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHILD TO MAKE SURE WE ARE MAKING PREVENTION AND PROMOTION OF HEALTH”

– I also take care of healthy and sick newborns who require special care.

– Also I take care of premature babies that have low weight or suffer from any malformation.

DELIVERY ROOM CARE
Humanized Delivery: is a modality of delivery care characterized by respect for the rights of parents and children at the time of birth.

I assist babies born by Caesarean Section or regular Deliveries.
I stabilize and treat the newborn that may have any life threatening problem.
I take care of premature babies with critical illnesses or that require any procedure like surgery. I make sure they receive adequate nutrition to heal and grow properly.
I promote breast feeding which is the best food recommended for the new born.. I help the mother recognize the signs of the ineffective breast feeding.

EDUCATE FOR HEALTH

I carry out education and health promotion at different times of the consultation, with various activities such as the promotion of breastfeeding, development, control and monitoring of vaccination programs, accident prevention.

I provide knowledge and behaviors that have a positive impact on the health of children and their parents

VACCINATIONS

The vaccines constitute one of the best health measures that produce the greatest benefit to humanity.
They prevent diseases that have caused great epidemics, deaths and sequel.
During the Pediatric consultations we make sure to keep up date the vaccination status of your child and provide the parents with all the necessary information to make the best decision.

REMEMBER: keep the vaccination certificate, as it is a personal document that guarantees that your child has been immunized correctly.

PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY

I care for patients from the days of birth to 18 years of age who present a sudden alteration of their health (acute and of recent presentation), which can put their life or cause serious sequelae.

NUTRITIONAL ADVICE

We give guidance for a healthy diet and help the families to go through the dietary changes that occurred in the different stages of Pediatric age. We advise them about breastfeeding and complementary feeding (Baby Led Weaning) and also about the eating disorders (Picky-eater).

The objective consist in giving to the parents enough information and knowledge so they can offer to their children a varied and balance diet that will include food from all the groups.

DOWN'S SYNDROME

Down Syndrome (DS) is an abnormality of chromosome 21 that can cause intellectual disability and be accompanied by other physical alterations. DS is accompanied by a list of diseases that can develop throughout its life and that requires the use of protocols of specific monitoring. You have to educate and guide parents. The follow-up and early care programs for this group of children have a positive effect on their health status, improving the quality of life and life expectancy, and allowing them to achieve a greater degree of personal autonomy and integration into society.

AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS (ASD)

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a developmental disorder that can lead to significant social, communication and behavioral problems

As a pediatrician, I play an important role in detecting early signs of ASD, by monitoring the development of the child and knowing the specific warning signs of ASD. The early detection of ASD and the establishment of an early treatment program improves the prognosis of autistic symptoms, cognitive abilities and functional adaptation to their environment and the follow-up of these patients and their families after the diagnosis, evaluating the progress of the child, seeking health promotion and prevention care, ruling out coexisting medical problems, as well as supporting and directing families towards educational and behavioral programs as early as possible.
