Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens during a pediatric integrative medicine consult?
-
During a pediatric integrative medicine consult, a provider will discuss your child’s medical history and lifestyle habits such as diet, sleep and physical activity. They will also discuss your child’s conditions, symptoms and health goals. Additional tests may be ordered to learn more about your child’s overall health.
- What does a personalized integrative treatment plan for children involve?
-
A provider will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that feels manageable and monitor how your child is doing. This plan may include changes in diet, sleep and exercise, as well as integrative therapies to support your child’s health and well-being. Your provider will endeavor to give you information on a wide range of care options and work to craft a care plan that you feel good about.
- Does pediatric integrative medicine substitute for my primary care provider
-
No. Your pediatric integrative medicine providers can augment the care you already receive from your primary care provider, but you will keep your PCP as your medical home. Integrative medicine seeks to work collaboratively with your existing care team.
