HEADs UP!
If your child is involved in sports this season it is especially important to be aware of signs and symptoms that may be associated with a concussion. Remember: if your child suffers a bump or blow to the head while on the field, they should be removed from play. If they are experiencing symptoms concerning for a concussion, they should not return to play until evaluated by their primary care provider!

| Adolescent to Adult: Transition of Care Policy | Read More... |
|
|
At CMO we are committed to providing outstanding care to infants, children, and adolescents as they grow and develop. We believe strongly that children are not “just small adults” and we treat them accordingly for both medical and developmental concerns. However, this process of growth, development, and emotional maturation, does naturally come to an end -- children become adults.

Children and access to Media
Children these days are exposed to different forms of media (TV,Computer,iPads,Video...) at younger and younger ages and for much longer periods of time. In fact, current reports find that children spend more time involved with “screen time” than they do at school, at play, or engaged in any activity other than sleeping.

Although we remain "on-staff" there, starting January 1, 2012 our doctors no longer will be routinely rounding on well newborns at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) nursery. If you use (or are planning to use) our practice for primary care and deliver a baby at BIDMC, your baby will be cared for in the nursery by the BIDMC "hospitalist" neonatology group(a.k.a. "CNS" or the Cochran Newborn Service). We know and communicate well with the members of CNS, and you can be sure they will keep us "in the loop" on any significant issues that may arise while your baby is in the nursery. They will be receiving the same excellent care we would provide, with one important extra: there will be a responsible pediatrician or neonatologist actually in the building available to respond promptly if need be"24/7".
