When Should My Child See a Pediatric Specialist?

Your pediatrician is your go-to person for questions about your child’s well-being or when your child gets sick. But sometimes, your child might have a problem that warrants a visit to a pediatric specialist. A pediatric specialist is a doctor who’s received extra training in a certain area. You may need to see a pediatric specialist for additional evaluation and treatment beyond what your pediatrician is able to provide.

Pediatric specialists are also experts in treating kids. They know how to perform exams in ways that make kids feel more comfortable. They often work in kid-friendly offices and use medical tools that are specially designed for use with children.
