What is pediatrics?

Pediatrics is medical care for children. The Honeycomb Clinic provides comprehensive pediatrics care for children of every age. All children and their parents are welcome, and the clinic providers go the extra mile to promote a comfortable, culturally sensitive, and inclusive environment where kids can get the compassionate care they deserve. 

What does pediatric care include?

The Honeycomb Clinic serves as your child’s primary care provider, offering pediatrics care that changes and expands as your child’s needs do.

How often should my child have pediatric care?

The Honeycomb Clinic recommends routine wellness visits for all children, as well as urgent care for injuries and illnesses.

For the first few years of their life, your child will have more frequent appointments. Starting at about age 3, your child has yearly wellness visits. But, if your child has physical, mental, emotional, or behavioral health challenges, they may need to see their pediatrics providers more often. 

How can I prepare my child for pediatrics visits?

The Honeycomb Clinic creates a comfortable environment where kids can feel secure, so appointments aren’t a scary event. 

Stay calm and upbeat when you mention the upcoming appointment. Present it as a simple fact of life: You need to visit the doctor’s office occasionally to grow up strong and healthy.  

Your child might want to bring a comfort object, like a soft toy or blanket, to the appointment. 

While it’s nice to give your child a small reward after the appointment, don’t mention it beforehand. After a few visits, your child will come to realize that the doctor’s office equals fun events like a trip to the playground afterward.
