Pediatrics
Make sure your child gets the very best care, by pediatricians with the knowledge, compassion, and rapport required to put your child at ease during a doctor’s visit. The Consolidated Medical Practices of Memphis (CMPM) pediatricians are some of the finest in the region, with a special knack for working with children of all ages: newborns, infants, children, and teens.
Why Your Child Needs a Pediatrician
There are certain developmental milestones appropriate at different stages of a child’s life. Your CMPM pediatrician will assess your child’s growth over time to ensure these milestones are being met. In addition, regular exams by a pediatrician familiar with your child allows your doctor to identify the earliest signs of disease or illness. Early detection of many disorders can help ensure optimal treatment results.
Pediatricians can address your child’s immediate health needs, as well as perform a variety of preventive care screenings and tests. In many cases, young patients require expert guidance concerning their health and nutritional needs – and CMPM pediatricians do this with a caring, compassionate, and child-friendly approach.
