About this Web Site:

This web site is NOT designed as a typical marketing brochure or tool, but rather as a comprehensive educational resource for our patients and their families. It is packed with information content, often at the expense of aesthetic grace. Be aware that the site will appear complex, "wordy" and overwhelming, but bear with it, relax, and come to enjoy all the help it will provide you and your family.

The primary guiding principles of Unifour Pediatrics have been to provide comprehensive pediatric care emphasizing preventative healthcare, patient/parent education, attention to detail, close follow-up, and putting patients and their families first. In keeping with that philosophy, this site enables parents to access a vast amount of information and contacts which we think will be helpful as they deal with the formidable task of parenting and nurturing their children. Information, advice, ideas ... healthcare education, parenting principles, common sense, practical methods ... links to common problems and links to obscure illnesses. We have an attached SQL database which will provide quickly "Search" for the most common specialists, pharmacies, DMEs, etc. that we utilize in this practice, ... along with map directions, contact numbers, etc. We link to over 650 audio interviews of experts speaking on parenting and healthcare topics (each 10-25 minute interview can be played on your computer - in Real Audio format.)

In addition to the books and extensive handouts that we provide in the office, this web-site is meant to become an integral part of our overall master plan. We hope that you will use it wisely, as we point you towards reliable references (and attempt to steer you away from some of the "junk science" and inaccurate "information" which abounds on the Internet). Please read this warning and disclaimer now.
