Children’s health addresses the unique medical needs of the young developing person up to the age of 18 years old.

Children's Health

The mainstay of children’s health is nutrition and fitness but there are times when it’s necessary to see a healthcare professional. Here at Surfside we see children at all ages for common medical conditions such as upper respiratory infections, ear infections, rash and skin conditions, and cuts/lacerations and injuries. We do not take the place of pediatricians and their expertise and do not perform well baby checks following birth, plot growth charts, nor administer routine childhood vaccinations as part of routine health maintenence.

Do you give any vaccinations at Surfside?

We are happy to discuss the pros and cons, and your particular situation, however local drug stores offer many for free, so we do not stock them at Surfside.

Does Surfside have an X-ray machine for suspected fractures?

We take X-rays on site for children and adults. Although radiation levels from todays X-rays are very low, we always start with a good history and physical exam before ordering an X-ray to limit exposure for all patients.
