What is pediatric care?
Pediatric care is a field of medicine that specializes in age-specific health care for children from newborn through age 21. Dr. Larson has extensive knowledge of the developmental, emotional, and physical needs of your child.
Pediatric care includes a wide range of services that support their health and wellness for:

- Preventing disease
- Educating parent and child
- Promoting a healthy lifestyle
