🖤👩🏽‍⚕️ Honoring Black leaders in pediatrics 👨🏾‍⚕️🖤

Black physicians and researchers have shaped pediatric care through innovation, advocacy, and leadership. Representation in medicine matters—it builds trust, strengthens care, and helps families feel seen and heard.

✨ A few pioneers we want to highlight:

• Dr. Natalia Tanner – The first African American female physician to receive a fellowship from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

• Vivien Thomas – A brilliant surgical technician whose work helped pioneer pediatric heart surgery alongside Dr. Alfred Blalock, saving countless children’s lives despite facing immense racism.

• Dr. Doris Wethers – A hematologist and trailblazer in sickle cell disease research, whose advocacy for newborn screening transformed outcomes for children and mentored generations of Black physicians.

We honor their legacy and the continued impact of Black leaders in medicine—past, present, and future. 🤍

🛡️✨ Let’s talk about kids & immunity ✨🛡️

There’s no quick fix or magic supplement to “boost” the immune system. The real immune helpers are the basics we practice every day:
✔️ Vaccines
✔️ Adequate sleep
✔️ Balanced nutrition
✔️ Good handwashing
✔️ Managing stress

It’s normal for young children to catch frequent colds. But red flags can include infections that are unusually frequent or severe, hard to clear, poor growth, or needing repeated courses of antibiotics.

Worried about your child’s immune system? Dr. Garza is here to listen, evaluate, and guide you every step of the way. 💚

🦵Growing pains or something more?

Many grade school kids experience growing pains—mild leg aches that often show up at night, come and go, and don’t interfere with daily activities. The good news? They’re common and harmless.

💆‍♀️ Relief tips:
• Gentle massage
• Light stretching
• A warm bath before bed

🚨 When to call your provider:
• Pain that is persistent or getting worse
• Swelling or redness in a joint
• Limping
• Fever or unexplained bruising
• Pain that regularly wakes your child at night

These symptoms may point to something else, like juvenile arthritis, infection, or—rarely—more serious conditions.

Trust your instincts. Not sure if it’s growing pains or something more? 📞 Call today to schedule an appointment! We’re here to help. 💚

🦷✨ Why do kids need fluoride? ✨🦷

Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and protects little teeth from cavities, keeping those smiles healthy and bright! When used the right way, fluoride toothpaste and treatments are safe and effective for children.

👶 AAP toothpaste tips:
• From first tooth to age 3: use a smear (grain-of-rice–sized) amount
• Age 3 and up: use a pea-sized amount
• Brush twice daily

Have questions about your child’s teeth or fluoride? Bring them to your next visit—we’re always happy to help guide you! 😊

Is your child struggling to read? 📚💛

Dyslexia is a common learning difference that affects how the brain processes written language, but it has nothing to do with intelligence or effort.

Possible signs parents may notice ⬇️
• Difficulty sounding out words
• Slow or effortful reading
• Trouble with rhyming
• Mixing up letter order
• Avoiding reading altogether

Early signs can show up in K–2nd grade, but challenges often become more noticeable as reading demands increase in later grades.

✨ The good news: Early recognition makes a big difference. With the right support, like structured literacy programs, multisensory instruction, and targeted phonics, children with dyslexia can thrive and build confidence.

If you have concerns about your child’s reading progress, we can help guide you toward screening, school-based evaluations, and resources. 📞 Call us to schedule an appointment—we’re here to support your child every step of the way. 🌱

Winter blues? ❄️💙

Shorter days and colder weather can mean lower energy and a few extra grumpy moments for kids and parents. That’s normal this time of year!

What’s not normal? 🚩
• Pulling away from friends or family

• Talking about feeling hopeless

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 🤍

🛁 January is National Bath Safety Month 🛁

This is the perfect time to make sure your home’s water heater is set to a safe temperature. Hot tap water can cause serious burns in seconds, especially for young children.

✅ What’s the safe setting?
Set your water heater to 120°F (49°C) to help prevent scald injuries.

🔍 How to check it:
• Look at your water heater’s temperature dial (many show degrees or a “hot/warm” range)
• Run hot water for 1 minute and use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature

🔧 How to adjust it:
• Turn the dial down to 120°F (or “warm” if not labeled)
• Wait a few hours, then recheck the tap temperature
• If your heater is older, unmarked, or you’re unsure how to adjust it safely, contact your landlord, maintenance team, or a licensed professional

A quick check today can make bath time much safer for little ones 💙

Does it feel like your toddler catches everything? 🤧 You’re not imagining it!

Little immune systems are still learning, and toddlers are excellent germ-sharers, especially in daycare or group settings. It’s normal for young kids to have 8–12 viral illnesses a year, especially in fall and winter.

Those colds can feel back-to-back because viruses stack or symptoms overlap.

The good news? Each illness helps strengthen their immune system, and most pass with rest, fluids, and time. 💪

If your child’s illnesses seem unusually severe, very frequent, or they’re not bouncing back like expected, give us a call. We’re happy to help you figure out what’s normal and what needs a closer look. 🌱
