Pediatrics (also spelled paediatrics or pædiatrics) is the branch
of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends people be under pediatric care up to the
age of 21,[1] thought usually only minors under 18 are required to be under pediatric care.
A medical doctor who specializes in this area is known as a pediatrician, or paediatrician.
The word pediatrics and its cognates mean "healer of children"; they derive from two Greek
words: παῖς (pais "child") and ἰατρός (iatros "doctor, healer"). Pediatricians work both in
hospitals, particularly those
working in its subspecialties such as neonatology, and as outpatient primary care physicians.
he pediatric surgeons at Brenner are experts in general surgery for children of all ages, from infants to young adults. We perform all types of operations on pediatric patients every day and are a
leading pediatric surgery center in North Carolina. We help our patients get better through diagnosis, treatment, surgery and extensive follow-up care.
