Benefits of Pediatrician vs. Family Care Doctor Q&A

During pregnancy and throughout childhood, pediatricians fulfill a vital role as they offer specialized care for newborns, toddlers, and teenagers, providing essential support and expertise tailored to each stage of development. Dr. Julia Barriga MD, and her team help parents, monitor growth, and treat childhood medical conditions. Switching to a family care doctor typically occurs in the late teenage years or early adulthood, when specialized pediatric care is no longer required.
