At Pediatrics, C & C Medical Associates, we understand the importance of mental health in children and adolescents. While our pediatricians are comfortable managing common mental health issues and providing first-line counseling and consultation, we also offer access to mental health professionals via telehealth for more complicated mental health disorders.
