1-ON-1 VISITS
Young Medicine is dedicated to providing high quality, accessible, and effective care for every family and patient that walks through their doors.
Pediatric visits are available for newborns through the teen years in our San Diego office and virtually. Our providers also focus on caring for adults. Although Naturopathic Doctors are trained as Primary Care Physicians, we do not offer vaccinations in our practice.
WELL CHILD CONSULTATIONS
Regular check-ins for healthy children are very important. Here at Young Medicine, we think it is a vital component to a child’s healthcare and therefore, these visits are 45 minutes long. The main focus of well child visits are to monitor growth and development, optimize your child’s health, and prevent future disease.
These visits are also a time for parents to get extra support with nutrition, changes in sleep, toilet training, etc.
Visits are scheduled according to the American Academy of Pediatrics well-child checkup schedule: newborn, 3-7 days of life, 2 weeks, 2, 4, 6, 9 months for the first year, then 12, 15, 18 months for the 2nd year of life. Annual visits thereafter.
ACUTE VISITS
Once established as a patient at Young Medicine, children, adolescents, and adults may be seen virtually for same-day acute visits. Common same-day appointment reasons: sore throat, ear infection, teething, cough, sinus infection, stomachache, rash. Naturopathic modalities are incredibly effective at treating most acute childhood illnesses. However, conventional treatments will always be discussed in addition to natural treatments.
