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, behavioral health clinicians, 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
