Pediatrics and Internal Medicine

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on helping children, including the conditions or diseases they might have. Internal Medicine is a specialty that focuses on adult care.

Pediatricians and internal medicine practitioners see children and adults who have a wide range of conditions, which can include:

• Digestive issues
• Endocrine issues
• Infectious diseases
• Nutrition and feeding concerns
• Respiratory needs

You might work with a special needs pediatrician or internal medicine practitioner if your child needs neuropalliative care, or has a condition—such as respiratory complications or feeding issues—that might affect recovery from surgery.

The pediatricians and internal medicine practitioners at Gillette Children’s have deep expertise working with children who have disabilities, and adults who have complex conditions that began in childhood.

To help your child get the comprehensive care they need, our pediatricians and internal medicine practitioners collaborate with other Gillette specialists as needed. We help you figure out when to see an expert in another area, and can assist you with coordinating a full treatment plan.
