- Pediatric Care
- Primary CareContinuity of care is important. Your primary care provider already knows your child’s history. Your child has a continuous relationship with his or her primary care provider. When a physician knows your child’s health history, habits, and personality, he or she can more easily recognize signs that might signal a change in your child’s health.
- Family PracticeHis passion for the outdoors and skiing took him west where he completed his family medicine residency at the University of Wyoming Family Practice Residency Program. During his years in Wyoming Dr. Edgren was appointed Chief Resident as well as Attending Physician at the Cheyenne Veterans Administration Hospital. He also instructed other physicians in training before moving to Rockford, Illinois in 1995.
- Emergency Care"Cool first, transport second" is the operable concept when it comes to heatstroke. With mere minutes to act, a victim should be cooled down before being taken to an emergency room. Immersing the body in a cold bath lowers temperature the fastest, dropping it one degree every three minutes if the water is circulating.
- Flu ShotsHigh-Dose vaccine contains four times the amount of antigen (the part of the vaccine that prompts the body to make antibody) contained in regular flu shots. The additional antigen is intended to create a stronger immune response (more antibody) in the person getting the vaccine.
- Electrocardiogram
- ImmunizationsA prompt pay discount is applied to all payments received at the time of service. Charges for supplies, tests, immunizations, or medications are never discounted.
- GastroenterologyAs a native of Wheatland, Wyoming, Maria obtained nursing degrees culminating in a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Wyoming in August of 2011. She has made Cheyenne her home since that time working as a nurse practitioner in Emergency Medicine, Gastroenterology, and Family Practice.
- Mental HealthA well care visit covers so much more. When your child’s primary care provider performs a routine preventive well care visit, it encompasses screening for behavioral and mental health problems; learning difficulties; tobacco, alcohol, and substance use; social problems; and sexual activity. Primary care provider also monitors growth and development, conduct a comprehensive physical examination, address previous and current medical problems, update immunizations, perform recommended screening tests, and give anticipatory guidance. These are all critical pieces of a child’s full health history. If I’m missing vaccinations, get them during a sports physical.
- Diabetes Care
- VasectomySimple surgical procedure used as a permanent form of male birth control/permanent male sterilization which can be done in the office, usually taking less than an hour to complete.
- Moles
- Lesions
- Sports MedicineClinic visits are often cursory. Some schools and coaches recommend sports physicals at a clinic in a school gym or at a retail-based health center. This type of exam is often performed without the child’s complete medical history and often without a parent. The preventive care issues mentioned above are rarely addressed. There is little to no communication back to the primary care doctor. In short, this exam doesn’t address the whole scope of your child’s health.
