Medicine has made tremendous progress over the past 25 years. Part of this progress includes new diagnostic tools and new medications to treat illness. Yet many people find that today's doctors are less involved with the emotional aspects of their patients' lives. At Chevy Chase Pediatrics, we work hard to keep ourselves updated on the latest medical advances.
At the same time, however, we pride ourselves in our ability to take care of the whole child. Each child in our practice has his or her own doctor. This continuity of care enables us to really know our families and to provide excellent care of our patients from birth through adolescence. We take the time to make every visit as pleasant as possible for our patients.

Immunization Schedule
Report
Children receive many immunizations between birth and adolescence. These vaccines are designed to prevent a number of serious infectious diseases. Over the past two decades, many parents have become concerned about the number of immunizations their children receive. The questions we hear most often relate to the safety of the vaccines being given and the need for children to receive so many vaccines.
