Get the Right Next Step for Your Child

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:

  • Pediatric Evaluation: Discuss symptoms, health concerns, development, medications, and medical history.
  • Physical Examination: Evaluate your child when appropriate and identify possible next steps.
  • Review of Previous Care: Consider previous diagnoses, testing, treatments, records, or specialist evaluations.
  • Clear Next Steps: Determine whether the concern can be managed through pediatric care or may benefit from specialty evaluation.
  • Specialist Referral When Needed: Receive an appropriate medical referral when additional expertise, testing, or treatment is recommended.
  • Ongoing Pediatric Care: Continue your child's routine, preventive, and general pediatric care with Dr. Krishnan.

One Pediatrician. A Clearer Path to Specialty Care.

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.

Specialist Referrals for a Wide Range of Pediatric Concerns

Depending on your child's individual needs, Dr. Krishnan can evaluate concerns that may require additional specialty care, including:

  • Heart and cardiovascular concerns
  • Asthma, breathing, and respiratory concerns
  • Persistent or complex allergies
  • Digestive and gastrointestinal concerns
  • Growth, puberty, and hormonal concerns
  • Neurological concerns
  • Developmental and behavioral concerns
  • Musculoskeletal and orthopedic concerns
  • Persistent or difficult-to-manage skin conditions
  • Other complex pediatric health concerns

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.

Specialist Referral + Ongoing Pediatric Care

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.
