What is a pediatrician?
A pediatrician is a physician who treats infants, children, adolescents and young adults. Pediatricians
help care for all aspects of general health until a person reaches adulthood.
This care can include preventive medicine, regular checkups and treatment of
illnesses or other conditions.
