Home visits
Dr. Mehr offers home visits as an alternative to an office appointment. Visits are arranged with the practice according to your child's needs and the reason for the appointment.
Well-child visits
Checkups include a physical examination, a review of growth and development, and age-appropriate vaccinations. Visits also cover sleep, nutrition, behavior, school, and prevention.
Sick visits
Evaluation and treatment for concerns such as fever, ear pain, cough, sore throat, rashes, and stomach symptoms. Dr. Mehr explains the findings, treatment options, and when follow-up is needed.
Adolescent care
Annual checkups, school and sports physicals, and care for illness. Visits also make space to discuss puberty, menstrual concerns, sleep, nutrition, mood, and the pressures of school and friendships.
Specialist coordination
When a child needs specialist care, Dr. Mehr helps coordinate referrals and reviews the specialist's recommendations. Follow-up connects those recommendations with your child's ongoing pediatric care.
