Consejo de la Dra. Patty: ¡Un diagnóstico temprano cambia vidas! 🌈

Los primeros años de vida son cuando el cerebro de un niño está formando millones de nuevas conexiones — una etapa en la que las intervenciones tempranas pueden marcar la mayor diferencia.

En TLC Pediatrics, realizamos evaluaciones del desarrollo y revisiones para detectar autismo en cada visita de rutina.
Cuando identificamos un retraso a tiempo, podemos conectar a las familias con los servicios y el apoyo adecuados de inmediato.

Nos enorgullece ofrecer terapia del habla en nuestra oficina, y muy pronto — evaluaciones ADOS-2 para ayudar en el diagnóstico del Trastorno del Espectro Autista.

La detección temprana significa ayuda temprana — y mejores resultados para cada niño. 💙

Comprehensive, personalized, Pediatric Care in a Medical Home setting

Dr. Patty’s Tip: Early diagnosis changes lives!

The first years of life are when a child’s brain is forming new connections — a time when early interventions can make the biggest difference.

At TLC Pediatrics, we perform developmental screenings and autism checks at every well visit. When we identify delays early, we can connect families to the right services and support right away.

We’re proud to offer in-house speech therapy, and coming soon — ADOS-2 evaluations to assist in the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Early detection means early help — and better outcomes for every child.

Not only do vaccines save lives, but they can prevent rare complications from common illnesses. Last flu season we saw a rise in childhood flu deaths and severe illness - 85% of these cases were among unvaccinated children. Be sure to protect your family this season and call our office to schedule your kids' flu shots!

As fewer children get their flu shots, cases of a rare, severe complication are rising. Last season, the U.S. experienced the highest number of pediatric flu deaths in 15 years.

"Don't take Tylenol, tough it out." Yesterday's press conference wasn't just bad science—it was dangerous advice wrapped in mother-blaming
