Metropolitan Pediatrics offers comprehensive, coordinated, and compassionate care for children with medical complexity. Families in our program have the support of our entire team, including pediatricians, pediatric social workers, and a dedicated nurse care manager. All of us work together to coordinate your child’s care to improve quality of life, reduce hospitalizations, and relieve some of the stress of caring for a loved one with special health needs.
We routinely manage the following chronic conditions (and many more not listed):
- Birth defects
- Developmental delays
- Down syndrome
- Failure to thrive
- Genetic/metabolic syndromes (diabetes and others)
- Neurodevelopmental disorders/disabilities (ADHD, Autism & Cerebral palsy)
- Obesity
- Prematurity
- Seizure/neurological disorders (like epilepsy)
- Special equipment needs, such as tracheostomy and gastrostomy tubes or other assistive devices (wheelchairs, communication devices, and more)
- Referral coordination for specialist care
