✨ A new book from our very own Dr. Petterway! ✨

We’re thrilled to celebrate the launch of I Am Cool, a children’s book written by Gretchen Petterway, MD, FAAP! 💙📚

Inspired by her work as a pediatrician and a mom, this book helps children ages 3–8 build confidence, embrace who they are, and know just how amazing they truly are.

Because confidence starts with feeling safe, seen, and supported. 💛

📖 I Am Cool is available now!

We’re proud of Dr. Petterway for bringing this beautiful message to children and families. 🥰

🚨Childhood vaccines have been in the news this week—and understandably, many parents have questions.🚨

How many vaccine injections do children actually receive? Is the amount really comparable to a “bottle of soda”? Can multiple vaccines overwhelm a child’s immune system? Would separating the MMR vaccine make it safer? And what does the research actually show about vaccines and autism?

In our latest blog, “Childhood Vaccines Are in the News: Separating Fact From Misinformation,” we take a closer look at these claims and put them into perspective using actual numbers, decades of research, and published medical evidence.

❓Questions about vaccines are welcome. In fact, we encourage them. If something you hear in the news or see on social media concerns you, ask us. We would much rather talk about it with you than have you make an important decision about your child’s health based on fear or misinformation.

‼️ At Mid City Pediatrics, we are currently following the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations for the childhood immunization schedule.‼️

COME DUNK THE DOCTORS! 🎯💦

Today is the day, and we want to see you out here!

Grab a ball, take your shot, and send a doctor straight into the water.

And a HUGE thank you to the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office and Shreveport Fire Department Station 7 — these guys showed up big for us, brought the tank, and gave their time to make this happen. We are so grateful. 💙🚒⭐

🔴 LIVE-STREAMING AT 5:00 PM if you can’t make it in person — but trust us, you want to be here.

See you at the dunk tank!
