Pediatric Specialty Clinic
Director — Emmet M. Kenney, Jr., M.D.
At Saint Sophie’s, children and adolescents are valued. We focus special interest on ensuring the best possible treatment for them as they change through growth and maturation.
Overview
Our group of providers has a passion for treating pediatric patients, even going back to previous medical positions. We tailor their treatment plan with consideration of their diagnoses, general health, stage of life and physical development, and available resources.
The Pediatric Specialty Clinic is developed for the specific needs of children and adolescents as they grow. Diagnosis is often difficult early in life and can be heart-wrenching for parents. However, it is a starting point of assisting children who have psychiatric illness in their journey to achieving fuller health. This clinic focuses on collaboration with parents in finding the best treatment available for their children.
Treatments
A diagnostic evaluation gets things started. At the first appointment, your provider will discuss options for your child’s treatment, which may include medications to treat their specific illness. There may be further evaluation, such as a free CPT (a neuropsychological test that screens for the presence of ADHD).
Common medication classes are anti-depressants, mood stabilizers, anxiolytics (anti-anxiety meds), antihistamines, and stimulant medications for ADHD.
