A young child's exposure to lead can damage the brain and other organs and cause behavioral problems and developmental delays.

For these reasons, we take lead exposure and screenings seriously.
Repair of Simple Lacerations

Casting and Splinting Minor Injuries

Autism Screening
Autism is a developmental disorder that people are born with. It affects people differently; so one person may have a milder version where another may have a more severe version. We screen for autism at 9, 18, and 24 months and at any other time that it may be a concern.

Behavior problems can be the symptom of a greater underlying issue. We can help determine if there is cause to believe your child's behavior is related to one of these issues.
