Hey folks! We're well into the school year now, and this period between progress reports and the end of the first quarter tends to be one of the more stressful times of year for many students. I put out a post on school anxiety a few weeks back on our website if you would care to take a look: https://westorlandopediatrics.com/back-to-school-anxiety-helping-your-child-start-the-year-with-confidence
If your child is having some of these symptoms, please give us a call, and Dr O'Brien or Chelsea would be happy to evaluate and discuss treatment options. Timely treatment is important to avoid a spiraling effect.

It is hard to put a congratulations and thank you of this magnitude into one Facebook post, but this pediatrician will try. Robin Moore has been the face of West Orlando Pediatrics for 30 YEARS, today. With Dr Yarckin retiring early last year, she has all of the rest of us beat by at least a decade. Robin's gentle, direct approach to patient care puts patients and their parents at ease. Her efficiency and experience make her a great coworker, and a great partner in our mission of providing exceptional pediatric care. We are blessed to have her on our team!

Holy Pimples, Batman!

A lot of my patients have been asking me if I've been seeing any fallout from the cryptosporidia outbreak. Thankfully, that and other infectious diseases are in low abundance during these hot summer months. But with heat comes sweat and with sweat comes ...acne!

Too many of my adolescents are either "just dealing with it" or spending the extra money going straight to a dermatologist to treat it. Come see me first! We offer similar treatment options found at a dermatologist, including Accutane for deep acne.

Hope everyone's having a great summer! West Orlando Pediatrics will be closed this Friday, July 3, in celebration of Independence Day. Of course, you can always reach out to Dr O'Brien if any issues arise then or over the weekend. Have a safe 4th of July!

Hi folks, school is almost out! This is a fabulous time of year to get in for a well visit if your child is due, as less germs = less busy office. Early summer still gets you in before the back to school rush. If your child is due for a check up, give us a call today!

We got out of the office and picked some blueberries! And our doctor has definitely been hitting the gym and not ChatGPT.

Spotlight on… Jasmine!

Jasmine joined our team exactly one year ago! While that makes her the newest staff member at West Orlando Pediatrics, we feel like we’ve known her all our life. Jasmine is likely the first smiling face you’ll see when you enter the office, bringing warmth and compassion to the front desk. Jasmine goes above and beyond to make patients feel heard and comfortable when checking in or on the phone. She is incredibly creative, livening up the office with fun doodles and decorations. She enjoys electronic music and formula one racing. In her free time she enjoys making braclets and cuddling with her cats.
