Cuts, Scrapes, and Lacerations
Children often get small cuts and scrapes from play, sports, or everyday mishaps. Our clinic can clean wounds properly, apply dressings, and determine if stitches are needed to promote safe healing and prevent infection.
Sprains, Strains, and Minor Fractures
Sports, playground activities, and roughhousing can lead to sprains or minor fractures. We carefully evaluate the injury, provide splints or supports when necessary, and advise parents on follow-up care or referrals.
Burns and Skin Injuries
We treat minor burns and skin irritations with proper wound care, helping children heal comfortably while reducing the risk of scarring.
Foreign Object Removal
Kids sometimes get small objects stuck in their nose, ears, or skin. Our pediatrician can safely and gently remove these without causing further harm.
Stitches and Wound Care
If your child has a deeper cut, we provide pediatric suturing services in a calm and reassuring setting. We also offer wound checks, dressing changes, and removal of stitches when healing is complete.
