| | In keeping with the treatment and care of the whole child, Wholistic Pediatrics offers a variety of services:
|  | |  • Prenatal consults - including nutritional protocols for the pregnant mother and the development of a birth plan.
• Lactation services – DrDavid believes that breastfeeding is one of the most important things for a child’s health. He is an expert in all issues related to breastfeeding. He provides lactation consultations and has served 3 years as the medical Liaison for the Palm Beach County Breastfeeding Taskforce. For families who can not nurse their child, DrDavid can discuss donated breast milk and hypo-allergenic or organic formula options.
• Well child care – checkups at Wholistic Pediatrics usually last 30-45 minutes. We believe that in order to properly care for children, information needs to be obtained about pregnancy and the birth experience, the family, the child's development, and nutrition. Many health and safety topics are covered during each visit. Well care visits are recommended at 1-3 days old, 2 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months 18 months, 2 years, and yearly after that.
• Sick visits – DrDavid has developed various natural protocols for many different illnesses and symptoms. Antibiotics are used when appropriate, but can often be averted with the timely use of particular nutritional supplements. Certain therapies are simultaneously prescribed when antibiotics are used to try and prevent the negative effects of antibiotics.
• School Physicals - age appropriate advice is given during these office visits. All forms that are needed for school entry can be provided.
