Pediatric Consultation ​

​

Book this if your child is sick, or you have specific issues or concerns you would like to discuss.  I am able to do on-site: fingerstick testing for infection and blood sugar, rapid strep throat testing, and urine testing for infection.  I can also order further bloodwork as needed. In addition, I can refer your child into the Danish hospital system if they need to see a specialist (not applicable if they have an assigned Danish GP).

Well Child Visit

Wellness visits where I learn about your family and your child's medical history, do a complete head to toe physical exam including growth and developmental screening, administer vaccinations and address any concerns or problems your child is having.
