A Team of Experts in Pediatric Hospitalist and Intensive Care Services

Pediatric Hospital Care
A pediatric hospitalist is a hospital-based pediatrician who has completed a pediatric residency with emphasis on inpatient management of newborns and acutely ill infants and children. A hospitalist may treat medical problems like fever, infections, breathing difficulties (croup, asthma, pneumonia) and dehydration.

If your child's primary doctor uses our hospitalist services, our hospitalist will care for your newborn or child only when he or she is in the hospital. Our doctor will will examine your child on a daily basis, keep you updated on on your child's condition, and provide patient education materials. Our doctors are available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays.

Pediatric Intensive Care
A pediatric intensivist, sometimes called a pediatric critical care physician, is a pediatrician who has completed advanced training. These physicians typically treat more severe problems seen in critically ill children whose often unstable medical condition requires admission to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). The PICU is a special intensive care unit dedicated to taking care of sick infants and children with severe problems such as trauma, critical lung and heart disease and car or near-drowning accidents. Our pediatric intensivists are available 24-hours-a-day in the PICU.    

In some cases, your child's pediatrician may request that a pediatric intensivist consult or attend to your child on the pediatric ward. Common problems that pediatric intensivists address in the pediatric unit include metabolic abnormalities, infections, feeding difficulties, pain management and sedation, as well as post-operative issues.
