About Our Practice

For more than 20 years, the developmental pediatricians at Pediatrix Developmental Medicine of Dallas have provided care in the Dallas area for infants and children at risk of, or with, neurological or developmental disorders. A developmental pediatrician is a pediatric subspecialist who received additional training in the evaluation and care of infants and children who are not developing as expected.

Our developmental pediatricians are able to evaluate the child’s gross motor, fine motor, language and social/emotional development. If it is determined that development is atypical, we can provide recommendations for testing that may help to determine the underlying cause. We work closely with primary care providers, specialty physicians, local early intervention agencies, preschools, schools, home health agencies and therapists to help make sure each child receives the treatment to help them reach his or her maximum potential. We also help parents with finding resources and information for support.

To learn more about the developmental services we provide, or to schedule an appointment, please contact our office at 972-788-1858.
