Who is a Pediatrician?
A pediatrician, also known as a child specialist, is a medical doctor specializing in children's healthcare. Their expertise encompasses the physical, behavioral, and mental well-being of children, addressing a wide range of health concerns, from common childhood illnesses to complex medical conditions. Pediatric care begins at birth.
