Did you know a child’s bones aren’t just smaller versions of adult bones? They’re still growing, and that makes them different.

Growth plate fractures can easily be mistaken for other injuries—like sprains or buckle fractures. That’s why all injuries should be evaluated at one of our clinics to determine the best treatment plan.

At KidMed, our providers are trained to recognize and treat kids’ bones correctly. We know when an ER visit is truly needed, so your child can get the right care without the wait. 💙

Injuries and illnesses are stressful enough. A doctor’s visit shouldn’t add to it.

"In general, it's miserable."

There's been a sharp increase in hand, foot, and mouth disease cases across Central Virginia this year, and we're seeing it in our clinics.

The good news? With prompt care, most will heal completely.

At KidMed, our pediatric experts know when to splint, treat, and send home, and when to refer to a pediatric emergency center.
