Pediatric Services

Pediatricians with The University of Kansas Hospital make sure that even our youngest patients get care that’s big enough to fit their needs. Our physicians help kids and families, whether they need a basic checkup or treatment for a more serious condition. We also incorporate leading-edge research into our care. It’s a unique combination of general pediatrics and the most advanced pediatric specialties. It’s the kind of care you’ll only find at an academic medical center.

A unique benefit for our little patients is that the care we provide grows with them into adulthood. No other hospital in the region provides care throughout every stage of life.

General and specialized services

Whether you choose to visit one of our expert pediatricians for routine care or need to see a specialist, fast appointments are available. Our doctors offer services including:

• Routine sports and well-child physicals
• Developmental evaluations
• Treatment for common illnesses

If you visit one of our pediatric specialists, referral from your regular doctor is easy. Our specialists will work with your child’s primary care physician to coordinate care and make sure each step you take is toward better health for your child.

Children see our physicians for regular appointments in one of our convenient office locations. For those who need hospital care, we have dedicated pediatric care units specifically designed and staffed to meet the needs of young patients.
