You don't have to navigate specialty care on your own. Get an evaluation, clear next steps, and ongoing pediatric care in one place.
Call (361) 462-4159 or book online to schedule your child's evaluation.
You don't need to figure out which specialist to call before making an appointment. Dr. Krishnan can be your starting point.
Your child's visit can include:
Persistent or complex symptoms can leave parents wondering who should I call, what kind of specialist does my child need, and where do I even start?
Start with a pediatrician who can look at the bigger picture. Dr. Krishnan evaluates your child's concern in the context of their overall health, growth, development, medical history, and previous care before determining whether a specialist may be appropriate.
That means less guesswork for parents and a clearer path forward for your child.
Depending on your child's individual needs, Dr. Krishnan can evaluate concerns that may require additional specialty care, including:
A specialist isn't always necessary. Dr. Krishnan can first evaluate your child and determine whether continued pediatric management or specialty care is the appropriate next step.
Your child's care doesn't stop once a referral is made. Dr. Krishnan can continue providing pediatric care alongside specialty services, giving your family one consistent place for your child's everyday healthcare needs.
Ongoing pediatric services include well-child visits, sick visits, immunizations, age-appropriate screenings, growth and development monitoring, ADHD care, adolescent healthcare, asthma and allergy care, and sports physicals.
