At Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital, you have options when choosing your child’s doctor.
Pediatricians have special training to care for kids from birth to early adulthood. They emphasize prevention and follow the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for developmental and growth assessments and providing specialized care.
Family medicine physicians have specialty education in comprehensive health care and can treat every member of your family. Like pediatricians, they provide developmental assessment and follow the same national guidelines.
All of these clinicians are affiliated with Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital.
