Immunization has been one of the single greatest advances in preventative medicine and an essential part of childcare. Our practice follows the immunization guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

As a parent, it is your job to protect your child when riding in a vehicle. Using car seats properly helps keep children safe. However, with so many different types of car seats, choosing the right one and understanding how to use them correctly can be overwhelming for parents.

Visit the AAP’s Car Seat Safety Information page for guidance on choosing the most appropriate car safety seat for your child.

Product Recalls

Child products, such as cribs and toys, are often recalled due to a defect or hazard. It’s important to pay close attention to recalled consumer goods to protect your child from dangerous items.

Visit the AAP’s Car Seat Safety Information page frequently to ensure that the products your child is using have not been recalled by their manufacturer or the federal government.
