Pediatric Care

What Is Pediatric Care?

Pediatric care is a field of medicine that specializes in age-specific health care for children from newborn through age 21. Our male and female Heber pediatricians, Dr. Larson and Dr. Richter, have extensive knowledge of the developmental, emotional, and physical needs of your child. Quality pediatric care lowers your child’s risk for many common diseases. It also allows for early intervention for physical, emotional, and developmental problems that may arise throughout their childhood.
