This is an exciting time for the pediatric section of the primary care department
This pediatric vision is starting to take shape we've basically
been handed an empty canvas on which now to develop a vision for a brand new
pediatric clinic we're looking to create an environment that will meet the needs of every child
Are you ready to go to the princess chair okay
We recently appointed Dr. Jenelle Mallios as our new Chief
Dr. Mallios has been doing an excellent job in her new position
Where's the fishy good job high five
We have currently three different services that we provide for Pediatrics alone so we have general
Pediatrics which is 5 to 13 year olds and then we have children with special needs
Hi everybody, hello how are you. I'm good
Justin's been walking around for
nine years with his head tilt and it was very significant so if one of your eyes
has a tendency to to be higher than the other and you will compensate for that
by tilting your head and as soon as I put the prism on him his response was
instantaneous he straightened out his head and looked around and everything was great
Want to give these to mom?
Shes the best. She is the best.
Justin needed a little bit more than
just a typical eye exam and Dr. Moslin and the staff was able to provide that I
mean Justin would still be walking along with the tilt
Where's the circle
very good how as a parent that is what you want to provide for you kid
optometry changes lives there's an unmet need to take care of these children when
I hit a home run like that like I did with Justin it's fabulous
Within our children with special needs clinics we also see the infant to 4 year olds because
those exams tend to take longer as you children with special needs exams as you
can see a two-and-a-half-year-old is going to respond very slowly we take
more time and a child with special needs we also know what a rush our time
What's this one. Apple
Antonia first came to me I would say about six months ago
that was her first pair of glasses
You want to do it to me
When we work in pediatrics it's really two jobs in one we're working with the children then
we're working with the parents today I'd put two lenses up to Mrs. Grey sons eyes
and I showed her this is how Antonia sees without glasses
This is why she essentially needs them oh my gosh
If we've been fortunate enough to see a
child's really for the first time get a pair of glasses and see that that always
stick with us and sort of be that gratification and knowing that we're
doing the right thing
How you doing? Good. I'm great
Sena first came to me in January of 2015 she had recently moved to United States from West Africa
Okay you can sit here in the chair
You want to stick to basketball and that's a good idea
Her eye was turning out because it had a
high prescription and in Africa they had just told her basically that that eye was
kind of useless that they really weren't going to do anything about it
I'm grateful to those get out many that the one I don't know if we finally find I'm
gonna say the cure
Really for me what what made it worth it is just
seeing her smile just to see her so happy to be here because she wasn't in
the beginning she wasn't happy mom said she was having a really difficult time
some of the kids weren't really being nice to her at school so mom was
considering sending her back to Africa would she have been fine probably but if
we can make her better than fine that's what I want to do
Thank you Dr. Vaughn
again thank you very much. She's my favorite.
Our patients particularly our young pediatric patients are such wonderful people and
for us now to have the opportunity to provide them with the greatest in
technology with access to other professionals whether it's social work
or nutritionists to have our students interact in the state of the art clinics
providing services that make them proud and learn skills that they will take
beyond these walls and bring into their own practices going forward that's what
makes me so excited about this type of a project
I just feel like I'm so glad I met you
