We have a special Midsummer's Day announcement for our established families! *Please read the full post. If you have questions afterwards, feel free to comment or call us*

We will be raffling off a $100 gift card for each of the next two weeks, the week of 6/29-7/2—we will be closed Friday 7/3 in observance of Independence Day—and the week of 7/6-7/10. Each week will have its own raffle, with entries being granted to families who have their child's (or children's) well check(s)/physical(s) during these two weeks.

In other words, getting your child's well check done next week (6/29-7/2) will grant you one entry for that week's raffle. One entry will be granted for each well check, meaning that families with multiple children can earn multiple entries. Entries will only be granted for completed well check appointments; canceled and no-showed well check appointments will not qualify.

Unfortunately, some insurance companies have stricter requirements than others for when they will cover well checks, and we may not be able to schedule your child if their last well check was less than a year ago. Even if you were to win one of the gift cards, it is likely not worth it if you have to pay for the visit out-of-pocket (Unless you were already planning to be self-pay, then hey, what are you waiting for?). We recommend calling your insurance to confirm their well check coverage policy before calling us to schedule.

Get your child(ren) seen now and skip the stress of trying to squeeze in a last-minute sports physical right before school starts back up. Well check slots are limited, so call today to schedule at 770-704-0057!

Did you know? More than 30% of children worldwide say they have experienced bullying online. Many cases go unreported.

You can help reverse this trend:
- Recognize inappropriate behaviour
- Be a supportive bystander
- Know when and how to disengage
- Speak up and report abuse

Happy International Picnic Day! The summer is full of fun days, with things like picnics, daytrips, and travel!

In June, we bring awareness to headache and migraine care. Here are some tips for preventing migraines without medication.

If migraines or headaches keep your child from participating in things they like to do on a regular basis and/or are occurring multiple times a week, then it is time to schedule a visit with DV Pediatrics.

Suns out, sunglasses on! 😎

Sunglasses not only reduce eye strain that can lead to fatigue and headaches, but they also protect the eyes from ultraviolet radiation which can cause long-term eye damage. The long-term effects UV rays can have on eyes include increasing progression of cataracts, macular degeneration, and pterygia.

We recommend getting sunglasses with 95-100% UV protection. Brown, green, or gray lenses are more protective. Polarized lenses are good for reducing glare and reflections.

Protect your eyes this summer and wear sunglasses when you are outside!

Sunburn is not only painful, but it can cause long term damage to your skin. Check out these tips to help prevent sunburn during your summer fun! ☀️☀️

1. Wear sunscreen! We recommend a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher and reapplying every 60-90 minutes. Apply 15-30 minutes before going outside.
2. Wear UPF clothing and hats.
3. Seek shade during peak UV hours (10:00am - 4:00 pm).
4. Do not forget to protect your skin on cloudy days too!
5. Wear sunglasses that have 100% UV protection.
6. Do not forget to apply sunscreen to your ears, lips, scalp, neck, and tops of your feet.
7. Know your medication side effects. Some medicines increase sun sensitivity, it is important to discuss with your provider what the side effects of your medication are so you can be prepared.

The skin is the body's largest organ, so it is extra important we take care of it! For questions about sun safety and skin health, reach out to a provider today! 770-704-0057

Good morning and happy Friday everyone! We have some exciting news!

We have been in the process of redesigning our website for a couple months now, and it should be going live relatively soon! You, our patients and families, are at the center of everything we do here at DV Pediatrics, so we wanted to feature you on our newly designed website.

We'll be looking for 3-5 pictures for a rotational display at the top of our new home page. If we get enough interest, we can also dedicate a page as a gallery for all of your photos.

We are working on a way for you to submit pictures and for us to obtain written consent to use them on the site, and we will make another announcement at a later date with those specifics.

We're really excited about this opportunity, and we thank you for being part of our family here at DV Pediatrics.
