Pediatric Wizards

Pediatric Wizards The Magic of Caring!!! There are two separate waiting rooms to accommodate both sick and well children.

Dr. Helft has been caring for the children of Brevard County for almost twenty years and has built a well-respected pediatric practice known as Pediatric Wizards. As part of his commitment to children, Dr. Helft has taken part in a medical mission trip to Nicaragua and takes great pride in caring for the children of our military service members. His bright, fun, kid-centered office, located at 1310 West Eau Gallie Boulevard in Melbourne, starts with a yellow brick road leading to a Medieval Castle at the front desk. A sleeping dragon in the hallway leads the children to four exam rooms, each with a different theme to make patients of all ages feel comfortable. Parents love to see photos of their children posted on the walls, along with lots of sports memorabilia as Dr. Helft is a huge sports fan. Both healthy and sick children get excited to visit The Wizard and his Castle. The office has recently decided to open its Castle doors and accept new patients (so long as the family is willing to vaccinate, even using a modified schedule). Patients are accepted on an individual basis so that the practitioner sees no more than an average of thirty patients per day. Dr. Helft strongly believes in quality over quantity, and therefore believes that seeing a higher volume of patients (as most other pediatric practices do) would compromise the quality of care provided. He also realizes that waiting for long periods of time is unacceptable to busy parents and that patients should never be treated like a number. The office strives to make every family feel special and have their children receive the care and attention that they deserve. The Pediatric Wizards’ motto is “The Magic of Caring”, and every staff member is held to high standards to ensure each family and child is treated with respect, compassion, and the best medical care possible. To get a sense of why Dr. Helft and the staff of Pediatric Wizards are so beloved and respected in the community, check out the comments on their page, or visit their website at www.pediatricwizards.com.

🌡️ Fevers can feel scary, but most are just the body’s way of fighting off infection. Here’s when to worry:
👶 Under 3 months old – any fever over 100.4°F
🧒 Over 104°F in older kids
🚨 If your child is struggling to breathe, won’t wake easily, has a stiff neck, rash, can’t keep fluids down, or a fever lasting over three days.

👉 Remember: how your child looks and acts is often more important than the number on the thermometer. If you’re unsure, trust your instincts and give us a call!

🕵️‍♂️🔍 One of the biggest mysteries we solve daily? The Case of the Clogged Ear!
Believe it or not, earwax is actually helpful, it protects the ear. But too much of a good thing can cause trouble👂🚫

💡 Pro Tip: Do not try to remove earwax with cotton swabs, fingers, or other objects. This can make the blockage worse and damage the eardrum. Instead, let the experts handle it.
🏠 Things you can try at home: Soften and loosen the earwax with warm mineral oil. Other things to try, use an over-the-counter wax softener, i.e., Cerumenex, or Debrox.

✨ Parents, we get it—keeping your little ones healthy feels like a full-time job! From sniffles at school to germs on playgrounds, their immune system works overtime. 🦠💪

Here are 10 Pediatrician-Approved Tips to Boost Your Child’s Immune System
1. Prioritize Sleep 😴
Kids need more sleep than adults for their bodies to recharge and fight off illness. (Think: 10–12 hours for younger children, 8–10 for teens.)
2. Balanced Nutrition 🥦🍎
Focus on whole foods—fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Vitamin C, zinc, and probiotics play a big role in immune support.
3. Daily Outdoor Play 🌞🌳
Fresh air, sunlight (Vitamin D!), and physical activity all strengthen immunity. Plus, it lowers stress levels.
4. Good Hygiene Habits 🧼
Handwashing before meals and after play, covering coughs/sneezes, and not sharing cups or utensils.
5. Stay Hydrated 💧
Water helps flush out toxins and supports overall body function. Skip sugary drinks when possible.
6. Limit Processed Foods & Sugar 🍬🚫
Too much sugar can weaken immune defenses. Treats are fine in moderation, but balance is key.
7. Keep Vaccinations Up-to-Date 💉
Vaccines protect against serious illnesses and help the immune system recognize and fight threats.
8. Stress Management 🧘
Even kids feel stress! Playtime, family time, and relaxation techniques help regulate stress hormones that impact immunity.
9. Encourage Physical Activity 🤸‍♀️
Regular movement keeps blood flowing, supports strong lungs, and enhances immune responses.
10. Routine Checkups 👩‍⚕️
Regular pediatric visits ensure growth, development, and prevention stay on track.
