A pediatrician cares for babies, children and adolescents: growth and development, vaccinations, common childhood illnesses and chronic conditions. Regular well-child visits keep growth curves and the vaccination schedule on track.
Frequently in the first year (roughly at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 months), then yearly well-child visits — plus whenever your child is unwell or you're worried.
See a doctor promptly for any fever in a baby under 3 months, fever lasting more than 3 days, difficulty breathing, unusual drowsiness, or refusal to drink.
Fees vary by doctor, city and type of visit. There is no single fixed price. Each pediatrician profile on Doctera shows the consultation fee upfront when the doctor publishes it, so you can compare doctors, see real-time availability (including same-day slots when open) and book in person or by video.
