Pediatric Services for Lutz Families

Sick Child Visits

Kids don't get sick on a schedule, so we keep same-day appointments available for illnesses and injuries. With lab services on-site, including complete blood counts, urinalysis, and rapid testing, we can often find answers and start treatment in one trip.

ADHD/ADD Evaluations

If your child is struggling to focus at home or in school, our trained staff can perform an initial ADHD/ADD evaluation and continue to manage their care after a diagnosis, adjusting treatment as your child grows.

Asthma & Allergy Care

Florida's pollen and humidity can be hard on kids with asthma and allergies. Our pediatricians are trained in diagnosing and managing asthma and allergies, and our comprehensive program helps keep symptoms under control so your child can stay active.

Behavioral Health

Working together with community mental health providers, we evaluate and treat behavioral health concerns and school problems, including anxiety, depression, and difficulty focusing.

Chronic Care Management

Children's Medical Center is a certified Medical Home. If your child has a chronic illness or disability, our care coordinators help keep communication open between your pediatrician and your child's specialists, so the whole team works together.
