General Practitioners

Pediatric Care
Pediatrics East has been treating families in the Greater Memphis Area for many years. Your children’s health, safety, and comfort are our top priorities. Our goal is always to give the highest level of care possible while guiding parents to do the same. Pediatric East staffs some of the most adept pediatricians and nurses in the mid-south, ensuring that your care is based on current, relevant medical knowledge.
Ear Infections
Common causes of earache include different types of infection, injury, or pressure. Middle ear infections are especially common in children 2 years of age and younger and are often seen during or after a cold. This is the result of infection developing behind the eardrum where fluid may have accumulated during the cold. Outer ear infections (swimmer's ear), though painful, are quite different in that it is the skin lining the ear canal that becomes infected and painful. This typically happens during the summer with older kids who have been swimming, thus the term "swimmer's ear."
Sleep Disorders
There are numerous factors that are related to bedwetting. Unless t here are other urinary concer ns, isolated nighttime bedwetting is most often related to maturational delays of the nervous system and urinary system. There is also strong genetic correlation for bedwetting; roughly 50% of children who deal with prolonged bedwetting have a parent who also dealt with bedwetting as a child. Smaller bladder capacity, constipation, certain ENT conditions, and sleep disorders can also be associated with prolonged bedwetting.
Emergency Care
Please let the scheduler know the nature of the visit so we can allow the appropriate amount of time. If your concern is urgent, the scheduler may refer you to one of our call center nursing staff. Many situations can be handled in our office at a cost far lower than a hospital emergency room. If you believe your child is experiencing a life-threatening emergency, do not delay: go immediately to the nearest hospital emergency room and then ask them to notify us of your arrival.
Diarrhea
Pneumonia
Immunizations
Many people believe the flu is more of a nuisance than a deadly disease. However, the flu can lead to pneumonia, diarrhea, and even seizures in children. Each year, thousands of people in the United States die from the flu. That’s why it’s so important to receive a flu vaccination; it’s the best protection against influenza and its many complications.

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
We hope your labor and delivery went well, and that mom and baby are getting some much needed rest. Now that you’re the proud parents of a newborn, you may be thinking, “Now what?” Don’t get worked up over everything you’ll have to learn in the coming weeks.

Autism
According to the CDC, one in every 59 children in the U.S. has some form of spectrum disorder. Male children are four times more likely to have autism than female children, making Autism Spectrum Disorder one of the more common childhood issues we treat.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurobiologic disorder characterized by developmentally inappropriate levels of (1) inattention, (2) hyperactivity, and (3) impulsivity. Some children may not have the hyperactivity or impulsivity and may primarily exhibit inattention. ADHD is a behavioral disorder, making it difficult to quantify, but it is one of the most prevalent chronic health conditions affecting school-age children.
Depression
Mental Health
ADHD is defined as a mental health disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 4th Edition (DSM IV) (Table 1). The diagnosis requires a comprehensive clinical evaluation based on identifying children who have the core symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. No single ADHD test is available to establish the diagnosis, but rather a physical examination and battery of standardized psychological tests are preformed to rule out other causes, either physical or psychological, for the child’s difficulties.
Anxiety

Ultrasound
Your initial prenatal appointment should include an extensive health exam and testing that can ensure a healthy start to pregnancy. This appointment should include a confirmation of the pregnancy by pelvic exam and an estimated due date based on your last cycle or through an ultrasound. All women should be screened for HIV since this virus can be passed from you to your baby. If you test positive, your doctor can prescribe medication to reduce the chances of your baby being born HIV positive. Prenatal visits during the first trimester can also help to address unhealthy lifestyle habits that can negatively affect your pregnancy.

Eczema
That's it, there are no other rules. If your family has a strong history of allergy or it is thought your child has eczema, discuss advancing solids and even formula changes with your pediatrician.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Well-child visit covers preventative care, such as growth, development, routine physical exam, immunizations, other age appropriate screenings. We can also take care of sports physicals and answer any questions you or your child may have about their development.

Allergies
