Until what age do pediatricians treat patients?+
Most pediatricians care for patients from birth through age 18, though many continue care through age 21 for college students and patients with complex conditions.
When should I choose a pediatrician?+
Most families choose a pediatrician before the baby is born. Hospitals typically request the name at delivery so the pediatrician can see the newborn within 24 hours.
What's the difference between a pediatrician and a family doctor for kids?+
Pediatricians complete an additional 3 years of training focused entirely on children. Family physicians can also care for children but split training across all ages.
Are pediatricians involved in mental health?+
Yes — pediatricians screen for anxiety, depression and developmental concerns, and coordinate with child psychologists and psychiatrists when specialized care is needed.
