Finding a Pediatrician in Collin County

There are so many pediatricians and family doctors in the Collin County area that finding the right one for your family could be a tough decision. When you are seeking a new doctor it is always a good idea to ask your friends and neighbors for advice to see what doctor they see.

If you've been researching pediatricians in the Plano area you have come across Forest Lane Pediatrics, don't let the street name fool you because they have an office right here in Plano. Dr. Mitchell and his friendly staff focus on patient oriented care and establishing a rapport with families while they are in his office.

Being able to rely on your pediatrician to help your children to stay healthy is an important role and the doctors at Forest Lane pediatrics are just the pediatricians for that role.

Spring is Almost Here

Spring is one of the best times of the year. You begin to thaw out from the winter chill and begin to spend more time outdoors. With warmer weather, you children will also be outdoors more often. Below are a few things to keep in mind when your children are outdoors.

1. Remember the sunblock. Even on cloudy days children are susceptible to sunburns. Anytime your children will be spending an extended period of time outdoors make sure they are protected from the sun.

2. If they are playing sports or other outdoor activities make sure they have enough water to stay hydrated. Things like heat stoke and dehydration can occur quickly so make sure they are drinking enough fluids to stay hydrated.

3. Last, go over the safety rules with children again to refresh their memories. Talk about things like bike safety, what they should do in potentially dangerous situations, remind them about talking with strangers and looking both ways before crossing the street. It never hurts to go over bike and street safety rules again.
