From your baby’s first checkup through their teenage years, Manzer Family Medicine is here for every stage of your child’s health. Our providers offer comprehensive pediatric care at our Carthage, MO office, with same-day appointments available for sick visits. As a physician-owned practice, we take a personal, family-first approach to care, so you’re never just a number on a chart. Whether your child needs a routine checkup or specialized support like autism and developmental care, our team is ready to help.
Children’s healthcare needs change constantly, from newborn feeding questions to teenage sports physicals. That’s why Manzer Family Medicine offers a full range of pediatric services designed to support your child at every age and stage of development.
Regular well-child visits allow our providers to track your child’s growth, development, and overall health over time. During these checkups, we monitor height and weight percentiles, screen for developmental milestones, and address any questions or concerns you may have as a parent. Catching potential issues early gives your child the best chance at a healthy start.
Kids get sick, often without warning. Manzer Family Medicine offers same-day appointments for common childhood illnesses, including ear infections, strep throat, the flu, RSV, colds, and stomach bugs. Getting your child seen quickly means faster relief and peace of mind.
Whether your child is a Carthage R-9 student heading back to school or gearing up for a new sports season, our providers offer thorough physical exams to meet school and athletic requirements. These visits also give us a chance to check in on your child’s overall health and answer any questions before the school year gets underway.
The first year of your baby’s life comes with a lot of questions, and our providers are here to help answer them. From your baby’s first pediatrician visit to ongoing weight checks, feeding guidance, and developmental screenings, we support new parents through every step of infant care.
As children grow into teenagers, their healthcare needs shift to include topics like puberty, growth, and emotional well-being. Our providers offer a comfortable, judgment-free space for teens to ask questions and address physical and behavioral health concerns as they navigate adolescence.
Dr. Miran and our care team provide patient, judgment-free support for children on the autism spectrum and their families. We offer sensory-friendly visit accommodations, including quieter rooms and dimmed lights, and help families navigate IEPs, 504 plans, and ABA referrals, coordinating between our office, therapists, and school nurses. Let us know when you book so we can make the necessary preparations for your child’s visit.
