Primary Health Providers for Children & Adolescents
Finding the right healthcare provider for your child can feel like a daunting
task. How can you find someone you can trust that provides high-quality,
but still cost-effective service? You’ll have to take time meeting
with pediatricians and finding one that you feel comfortable speaking
with and who can work well with your child. If you live in the Ridgecrest
area, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with the board-certified
pediatricians at RRH. Not only are we your close-to-home medical provider,
but we are well-known for providing compassionate, high-quality care to
patients of all ages.
As your child’s primary care provider, our pediatricians will provide:
Annual check-ups
School and sports physicals
Treatment for minor injuries and illnesses
Vaccinations
Asthma and allergy care
Early detection of behavioral health disorders
Family Doctor or Pediatrician?
Either a family doctor or pediatrician can serve as your child’s
primary care provider. Deciding which one best suits your child’s
needs will depend on you. People with large families often choose family
doctors because they would like to have their entire family’s healthcare
handled by a single provider. People with children who have special healthcare
needs often prefer working with a provider who focuses exclusively on
pediatric health and wellness. There is no right or wrong answer. The
most important thing is finding a provider who feels like the right fit
for your child.
By appointment only for established patients. New patients are required
to establish with a clinic first, including a well-child visit.
