General Practitioners

• Nutritional Counseling
  We also added some additional resources related to caring for your children during COVID-19. There is important information on emergency numbers, locations where children can get free meals, and opportunities to help others through this tough time. You can always visit our A-Z Guide  for loads of other resources including how to apply for Medicaid and Nutrition Services.
• Pediatric Care
  For the past several weeks we at Cary, Fuquay-Varina, and Apex Pediatrics have been remaining flexible during the ongoing pandemic. We have been trying to anticipate the needs of our patients and our community in remaining open, available for checkups, concern visits, or telehealth visits. When this all began, we were pleased to have the flexibility of making one of ours an office where we saw patients with coughs and fevers, while keeping the remaining offices for well-care only. This has been helpful, but has also meant that hundreds of our patients in our Apex office have had to have their visits cancelled or moved to other offices.
• Emergency Care
  Eceive lots of letters from urgent care clinics in the area stating that a child has been diagnosed with the flu and been given Tamiflu, usually appropriately, but sometimes inappropriately. Tamiflu is ONLY indicated in children 2 weeks and older who have been symptomatic for LESS THAN 48 hours. When given in the first 48 hours of the illness, Tamiflu has been shown to reduce symptoms by only 1-2 days. Therefore, do not expect your child to improve immediately after being given Tamiflu.  Â
• Infectious Diseases
• Immunizations
  On our “new†side, we will resume care as we have previously, with Dr. Steele, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Bowman, and our wonderful nurse practitioners Shana Bailey and Ali Groesser. This space will remain our checkup area, without sharing of staff or patients each day. It is our hope that by doing this, parents will remain confident that they can bring their children in to any of our offices for checkups, their yearly screenings, immunizations, and relationship building that we value as your medical home.

• Pregnancy

Internists

• Cervical Cancer
  Protecting against a family of viruses that causes genital warts has also been shown to greatly reduce a young woman’s chance of getting cervical cancer. It is a two dose series if given before age 14. If a patient gets their first dose at 15 or older, they will get three doses.

Neurologists

• Autism
  We believe, based on all available literature, evidence, and current studies, that vaccines do not cause autism or other developmental disabilities.

Psychiatrists

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  Our office performs ADHD screening for our families and helps them navigate the confusing landscape of ‘attention’ in school and at home. Please call to set up a consult with one of our providers if you or the school has concerns.
