A wellness exam is more than just a physical check-up; it is a dedicated window to discuss your child’s emotional and behavioral growth. These visits allow us to monitor milestones that might not be obvious during a quick sick visit.

At Bottenfield Pediatric Associates, we look at nutritional needs, sleep patterns, and social development to ensure every aspect of your child’s life is flourishing. Missing these routine checks can lead to missed opportunities for early intervention. By staying ahead of the curve, you are giving your child a head start on a vibrant, healthy future.

We make the process simple and supportive for both the parent and the patient.

Diagnostic tests may feel unfamiliar for children, but at Bottenfield Pediatric Associates, we focus on creating a calm, positive experience from start to finish.

A simple urinalysis can reveal important information about your child’s health—from detecting a urinary tract infection (UTI) to identifying early signs of diabetes or kidney concerns.
A UTI (urinary tract infection) occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system, which includes the bladder and kidneys. UTIs can cause pain, fever, frequent urination, or stomach discomfort, and they require prompt treatment to prevent complications.
Rapid results allow us to begin the right treatment quickly—before a small issue becomes a bigger problem.

Comprehensive care means paying attention to the “unseen” indicators of health. Let us provide the thorough evaluation your child deserves. Peace of mind is just one simple test away.

"Freezing" a wart may sound scary to a child, but we use the Peak-End Rule to transform the experience. We make the "peak" (the procedure) fast and efficient, and the "end" (a sticker and a brave-patient high-five) positive and rewarding.

Professional cryotherapy at Bottenfield Pediatric Associates is the gold standard for stubborn warts, working faster and more effectively than home remedies. Clearing the skin helps your child focus on play—not their skin concerns.

We specialize in turning medical procedures into small victories. Say goodbye to stubborn warts once and for all, and help your child feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. Let’s help your child feel comfortable in their own skin.

Is it a simple scratchy throat or something that needs antibiotics? Sometimes we avoid situations with unknown outcomes.

At Bottenfield Pediatric Associates, we remove the guesswork with rapid strep screens. Our point-of-care testing provides answers in minutes, not days. If it's strep, we can start treatment immediately to prevent complications like rheumatic fever; if it's viral, we save your child from unnecessary antibiotics.

Knowing for sure is the first step to feeling better. Don't let a sore throat remain an " unknown."

Hearing loss in children is often “invisible.” What may look like not listening, frequent daydreaming, speech delays, turning the TV volume up high, or difficulty following directions can sometimes be signs of an underlying hearing concern. When hearing issues go unnoticed, they can affect speech and language development, classroom learning, and social confidence.

At Bottenfield Pediatric Associates, our comprehensive hearing screenings are designed to detect even mild or subtle hearing changes. These screenings evaluate how well your child hears different tones and speech sounds—skills that are essential for clear communication and academic success. Early identification allows us to intervene quickly, whether that means monitoring, medical treatment, or referral to a specialist.

Hearing screenings are fast, painless, and age-appropriate. Most importantly, they provide valuable insight during critical stages of growth and development. Clear hearing helps children fully engage with the world around them - a confident success story.
Make sure your child isn’t missing the sounds that shape childhood.

Let’s ensure their world is crystal clear. Contact Us via https://bottenfieldpeds.com/ or call (979)297-7337.

As children grow into teens, they often stop listening to their parents and start looking for "Authority" figures. This transition is a critical time for their health autonomy. Having a trusted pediatrician who can speak directly to your teen about sensitive topics—like mental health, skin care, and physical changes—is invaluable.

At Bottenfield Pediatric Associates, we provide a confidential and respectful space for adolescents to take ownership of their health. We bridge the gap between childhood and adulthood, ensuring they have the correct information to make safe choices. Transitioning care doesn't have to be awkward when you have a long-term relationship with a practice that grows with your child.

Let us help your teen navigate these complex years with confidence.

Most parents view developmental milestones as a checklist, but we view them as a roadmap for your child's unique potential. Missing a milestone isn't a failure - it's a signal that requires professional interpretation. Research suggests that early intervention is the most significant factor in long-term outcomes, yet many families delay seeking advice.

Our developmental screenings at Bottenfield Pediatric Associates are designed to identify subtle shifts early, turning potential hurdles into manageable steps. We provide a supportive environment where your questions are answered with clinical precision and empathetic care.

Don't leave your child's growth to chance; let our board-certified pediatricians provide the clarity you need. We are here to partner with you in every stage of your child's journey.

The first 1,000 days of life go by in a blink, and they are the most critical for brain development. We often skip "well" visits because everything seems fine, but these appointments are about more than just checking boxes—they are about maximizing your child's developmental window.

Research shows that proactive monitoring prevents the "compounding interest" of small health issues turning into major complications.
Our well-child visits are a dedicated time for you to ask questions and for us to ensure every aspect of your child's growth is optimal. It is much easier to maintain health than it is to regain it.

Invest in the most valuable thing you have: your child's future health. We look forward to seeing your family soon.
