Pediatric and Adolescent Care in Cordova, Tennessee
NuvaCare Clinic provides pediatric and adolescent care as part of its family medicine practice in Cordova. Children and teenagers can receive routine and sick care in the same clinic where their parents can also establish primary care, helping families keep more of their healthcare in one medical home.
Well-Child and Adolescent Visits
Routine visits focus on growth, development, preventive care, age-appropriate screening, vaccinations and health guidance. The exact visit schedule and recommended services depend on the child’s age, medical history and clinical needs.
Sick Visits for Children and Teens
NuvaCare evaluates common childhood illnesses and symptoms within the scope of family medicine. Parents may call when a child has a non-emergency concern that needs medical evaluation. Severe breathing problems, loss of consciousness, major injury or other potentially life-threatening symptoms require emergency care rather than a routine clinic appointment.
School and Sports Physicals in Cordova
NuvaCare provides school and sports physicals for children and teenagers. Families should bring any school, camp or athletic forms that need to be completed, along with relevant medical history and medication information.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are part of NuvaCare’s pediatric and preventive-care services.
A Family Medicine Relationship That Can Continue
A child who begins care at NuvaCare does not have to leave the practice simply because they become a teenager or young adult. Family medicine is designed to support continuity across age groups, allowing the relationship with the medical team to continue as healthcare needs change.
Spanish-Speaking Care for Families
Dr. Ojeda-Cruzado speaks Spanish, and the patient-experience/front-office team can assist Spanish-speaking parents with scheduling, insurance and self-pay questions. Parents can discuss a child’s symptoms and ask questions in Spanish without making the child serve as the interpreter for the family.
