Have you heard?

We’re moving!

 

 

In mid-October 2010, we expect to be in our new location at 9675 SE 36th St.  We will be located just off the East Mercer Way exit on Mercer Island, between City Hall & The Globe Building.  With ample parking and easy access off I-90, we feel our new location will be beneficial for all our patients.

In the meantime, follow our progress...

 

 

Expecting? … Congratulations!

SYMPTOM CHECKER FROM THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS
The AAP has introduced an online tool that provides parents with information about their children's symptoms and advice on when to consult their medical providers. The symptom checker tool features images that can be used by parents to diagnose rashes and insect bites among children, as well as weight-based dosage charts for over-the-counter drugs.

 

 

HPV Vaccine for Boys

The same HPV vaccine we have been giving to girls is now available and

approved for boys 9-26 years of age!  This vaccine will help prevent certain

kinds of pharyngeal, rectal, and penile cancers.  It will also help prevent HPV

related cervical cancers in women.  Please ask your pediatrician if this vaccine is right for your son.
