What Are Specialized or Advanced Care Services?

Our specialized or advanced care services are provided in collaboration with specialists who have advanced training and education, as well as years of experience in managing specific conditions. This includes subspecialties that are not traditionally treated at a family medicine clinic or a primary care physician’s office. Our team believes that this level of specialty care and coordination is crucial to effectively managing our patients’ physical, mental, emotional and social health and well-being.

By taking a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to patient care, we can detect early warning signs of problems, reduce the risk of illness and disease, provide compassionate and supportive care throughout life stages and support healthy growth and development. We work closely with our patients, their healthcare team, other specialists, and social services agencies to offer comprehensive, compassionate care.

Specialized Services We Offer

Breastfeeding Support

In your infant’s first months of life, breastfeeding provides essential nutrients and protective, preventive hormones, as well as strengthens the bond between mother and child. However, we know that it can present challenges for new mothers, and that some cannot breastfeed or choose not to. Our lactation consultants help with latching difficulties, soreness, milk production concerns, alternatives to breastfeeding and other issues.

Pediatrics

Our pediatrician and family medicine providers offer routine and specialty care for children from infancy to young adulthood. We can do everything from providing annual physicals and wellness check-ups to administering immunizations, to treating, managing, and preventing illness and disease, and providing nutrition counseling, weight management, and behavioral health care.

FAQs About Specialty Medical Care

If you have questions about specialty medical care, our team is here to help.

How Do I Know if I Need to See a Specialist?

You might need to see a specialist if you have symptoms or a condition beyond the scope of your primary care physician or family medicine provider. You might also need specialized medical care if you have persistent or worsening symptoms that affect your ability to stick to your normal daily routine, confusing or unexplained symptoms that your PCP can’t diagnose or if you just want a more focused level of care.

Do I Need a Referral from My Primary Care Physician?

The answer to this depends upon your insurance policy’s terms. Some insurance companies require patients to get a referral from a PCP before seeking specialized medical services. If you are not using insurance or if your insurance company doesn’t require this, you can often make an appointment on your own.

What Obstetrics and Pediatric Services Do You Offer?

We offer prenatal care, customized labor and delivery services, private birthing suites, postpartum care and breastfeeding support. We also provide pediatric care for patients from infancy to young adulthood.

Why Should I See a Breastfeeding Support Specialist?

A breastfeeding support specialist or lactation consultant can help you prepare for breastfeeding your child and provide advice, education and tips to help you overcome breastfeeding challenges. You might benefit from visiting one if you want to find more comfortable breastfeeding positions, need help getting your baby to latch, don’t understand your baby’s hunger cues, want to develop a consistent feeding schedule, are concerned about your milk supply, aren’t sure if your baby is eating enough or gaining enough weight, want support in weaning your baby or pumping breast milk or want to explore alternatives to breastfeeding.
