At BRIGHTSTARTS PEDIATRICS our goal is to create an environment where children feel welcome and parents feel confident in our care.

We strive to help them enjoy their childhood, while preparing their minds and bodies for adulthood. As we all know, children are not just “little adults” and caring for them is quite different than caring for grown ups. As pediatricians, we devote our training and careers to the care of children, and thus, are uniquely qualified to deliver medical care to this age group.

Immunizations
Immunizations are a proven way of preventing the most common, serious communicable diseases of childhood. In accordance with the guidelines established through the American Academy of Pediatrics and the United States Public Health Service, we feel every child should receive these important vaccines.

Sports, school and camp physicals
Brightstarts Pediatrics is committed to children's physical health, & keeping them active. Sports participation teaches leadership and cooperative skills that have a lifelong impact. In addition, as the obesity pandemic worsens, organized sports participation and unstructured play or physical exercise can be a source of needed physical activity for children and adolescents. The pediatrician often is asked to evaluate a child's or adolescent's suitability for sports participation. The purpose of this evaluation has remained constant since it was first described in 1978. (1)(2) The goals are to fulfill the institution's legal and liability requirements, provide some assurance to coaches that athletes will start the season at an acceptable level of health and fitness, provide an opportunity to discover treatable conditions, and aid in predicting and preventing future injuries.
Minor injury treatment
Minor injury treatment
Sprain or Fracture?
Because children are more likely to break a bone than suffer a sprain, it is important to check with your child's healthcare provider if your child complains of a lot of pain, especially if it is over an area of bone. Children are still growing. Fractures that happen through the growth centers need to be followed closely.
According to the AAP, the signs and symptoms of sprains in young children can be quite similar to those for a fracture. They can include:
* Pain
* Swelling around the joint
* Inability to walk, bear weight, or use the joint
