Other Services

Select pediatric medications may be dispensed directly from our office at the time of your visit, allowing treatment to begin right away. These medications are offered as a convenience service and are available for a cash fee at the time of dispensing. 

We like to begin your newborn care with 2 days of hospital discharge and continue supporting you and your baby as they grow. Our goal is to provide consistent, relationship-based care for your family from the very beginning. 

Breastfeeding provides essential nutrition for infants birth to one year and older. As with learning anything new, most breastfeeding mothers and babies (and dads too!) need some instruction and support during this learning period.

Hometown Pediatrics does not currently provide new ADHD diagnostic evaluations or initiate ADHD medication management.

As an independently owned nurse practitioner practice, Hometown Pediatrics is subject to Ohio prescribing laws that restrict our ability to prescribe Schedule II controlled medications, including stimulant medications commonly used to treat ADHD. Because these restrictions prevent us from offering the full range of ADHD medication options, we believe families seeking new ADHD evaluation and treatment are best served by a provider who can offer all appropriate treatment options.

We are still here to help. Established patients may schedule appointments to discuss concerns involving attention, behavior, academic difficulties, anxiety, depression, sleep, learning, or development. We will evaluate these concerns and recommend appropriate next steps, including referral for ADHD evaluation or medication management when indicated.

Established patients whose ADHD is currently being successfully managed through Hometown Pediatrics may continue their care with us as clinically appropriate.

Our practice provides a comprehensive asthma and allergy management program for our patients. Our pediatric provider is trained in the diagnosis and management of childhood asthma and allergies.

In cooperation with community based mental health providers, we evaluate and treat children for behavior concerns and school problems including:

• Inattention and lack of focus
• Anxiety
• Depression

If your child has a disability or a chronic illness, your journey may feel like the road less traveled. You probably have interactions with many different professionals and specialists. You need information, assistance, understanding, and support.

Sports phycials evaluate your child's health and readiness for athletic participation. 

Most insurance companies cover a sports physical when it is completed during a routine well-child visit. If a sports physical is scheduled separately from a well visit, it may not be covered by insurance, and a fee will apply. 

Children may experience a range of medical conditions that could benefit from the expertise of a pediatric specialist in a particular field. We emphasize the coordination of all healthcare providers involved in a child's treatment. 

We  kindly request that you give our office a call or use your patient portal for any prescription refill needs you may have. Please allow 24-48 business hours for prescription refill requests. Refills are processed during regular business hours. We encourage you to request refills before your child's medication runs out.
