❤️ In Loving Memory of Dr. Ramon Murphy ❤️

It’s been 7 years since we lost our dear Dr. Ramon Murphy on 03/04/2019. He touched the lives of so many with his kindness, expertise, and warm heart. Our patients loved him, and his legacy continues to inspire us every day.

We honor his memory and the countless smiles he brought to our practice. You are deeply missed, Dr. Murphy. ❤️

A new study found that nearly one-quarter of children who need mental health treatment are not receiving it. To read about the study, search "U.S. Parents Report Gaps in Accessing Mental Health Care for Their Child, HealthDay" and click on the HealthDay article.

This study underscores the importance of improving access to mental health care. At Uptown Pediatrics, we're playing a part in this initiative by screening for mental health at each well visit and adding our amazing psychiatrist, Dr. Hoon, to our team. If your child is struggling with their mental health, help is available. Make an appointment with us today.

We loved meeting Lana from Reach Out and Read today at our Uptown Pediatrics site visit!

This year marks 20 years of Uptown Peds as a proud Reach Out and Read grant recipient. We’re so grateful to be part of a program that recognizes how powerful early literacy can be for children and families.

Through Reach Out and Read, we’re able to provide developmentally appropriate books to many of our families and talk about the importance of reading aloud from infancy. Even just a few minutes of shared reading each day makes a difference.

A new study published at the beginning of February found that using AI for medical decision-making is no better than using internet searches. Despite AI's solid performance when given complete medical scenarios and simulated patient interactions, when used by actual people in the general public, AI is largely unsuccessful at providing sound medical advice.

To read the full study published in Nature, search "Reliability of LLMs as medical assistants for the general public: a randomized preregistered study." The New York Times also wrote an article about the study, titled "Health Advice From A.I. Chatbots Is Frequently Wrong, Study Shows."
