A Caring Approach

Children and teens are experiencing increasing rates of mental health issues, including stress, anxiety, and depression. At Wildwood Pediatrics, we put compassion first while helping them navigate these difficulties, spending the time necessary to listen and help them feel understood. We take a comprehensive approach, assessing all aspects of a patient’s situation and providing personalized tools to help support patients as well as their caregivers. We can also help to connect them with mental health professionals such as therapists, as we strongly believe in the power of counseling. Additionally, Dr. Palfreeman feels confident with medication management. He works together with patients and families to determine when this is an appropriate option. Our team is dedicated to helping each child thrive and is here for your family in the ups and downs.
