Pediatric Services

Behavioral Health

Does your child need a behavioral evaluation? Our primary care providers can help manage concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, sleep problems, potty training, postpartum depression, and general parenting or behavioral questions, and can determine whether short-term therapy or an outside referral is the best next step; when needed, patients can be connected with a local Behavioral Health Specialist for issues such as anxiety, depression, parent coaching, situational stress, eating disorders, trauma, and behavioral interventions.The page also includes practical advice on questions worth asking your pharmacist, tips for reading prescription labels correctly, and strategies for helping picky or reluctant kids take their medicine without a fight.

Medicine Dosages

Flanders Pediatrics' Medicine Dosages page is a comprehensive resource designed to help families navigate children's medications safely and confidently. You'll find dosage charts and guidance for common medications such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, cough and cold remedies and antihistamines, along with age-appropriate instructions for giving eye drops, liquid medicines and prescriptions.



Onsite Testing

When ordered by a provider during your child's visit, Flanders Pediatrics offers the convenience of on-site lab testing with same-day results, allowing us to quickly identify what's going on and get your child started on the right treatment without the wait. Our in-house testing capabilities include screenings for influenza, strep throat, RSV and COVID-19, along with hemoglobin, cholesterol and lipid panels, stool guaiac testing, monospot testing, urine hCG testing, urinalysis, and capillary blood glucose testing. By performing these tests right in our office, we're able to save families an extra trip to an outside lab and provide faster answers when your child isn't feeling well.
