No matter how young or old they are, you can help your child make healthier food choices that curb hunger throughout the day, provide energy and contribute to their daily intake of nutrients. If this is something your child has grown used to, it may not be easy, but if you don't keep them on hand they'll have to settle for something that's better for them.
Set a good example by choosing healthy snacks yourself. Combine brightly colored veggies and fruits with tasty dips and let the fun begin! For example present you child with a dish of baby carrots and other raw veggies with fat-free ranch dressing or hummus. A sweet treat idea might be to dip graham cracker sticks or fresh fruit in honey or fat-free yogurt.

Here at Health Care for Children, we provide family-centered care that takes a more holistic approach to care and prescribe treatment not just based on the childs physical condition, but also the family, parent or guardian's knowledge of the childs physical condition, as well as, family medical history, behaviorial, developmental and environmental factors that may affect the childs current and future health.
I've recommended this practice to both friends and new moms in the area alike. We couldn't be happier with the treatment given to our children by the doctors at Health Care For Children. We are blessed with healthy, beautiful twins. Still, as a new mom, I am sometimes very anxious. Dr. Daliva listens to my concerns and caringly treats my children just like they are hers!.
Sometimes it's hard to tell how sick your child is. However, urgent care or a trip to the hospital is usually not needed for a simple cold or cough, mild diarrhea, constipation, temper tantrums, or sleep problems. No additional foods (except Vitamin D) or fluids are needed, unless medically indicated and instructed by your physician.

I take both my children here and haven't had any issues. The front office staff is polite, the nurses are wonderful with my kids, and the doctors really listen. A lot of these other reviews are old. I'm really not sure what they experienced with this place but we have had nothing but good experiences here.

Absolutely TERRIBLE place to take your child. The staff is terrible. The new doctors don't know what they're doing since the good doctors left. For being a healthcare place for children, the staff is just extremely rude and nasty. I will never have my child go in there around those miserable ladies again. No wonder the rating are so bad. They don't deserve any good reviews.

I really wish i could give no stars, please do not waste your time with this office. Ghetto unprofessional staff that are too lazy to pick up a dam phone. i have never heard of a pediatric office NOT answer phones or give you the run around about a prescription. My 4 year old was sick on a Wednesday and because she was new they couldn't see her until Friday afternoon because "that's the first new patient opening" My kid could have had the flu or something really wrong and they want her to wait over 48 hours. un-freaking-real.

I love the doctors and nurses at the elkton office. I have been going to this office for 16 yrs and never had any issues until your new office staff.. The office staff is disrespectful, unprofessional and the office staff including the supervisor Sam talks about you in Spanish. Which i understand...
I will not be returning to the elkton office again. 💩💩💩💩 On them...
