Pediatrics

Pediatricians care for your children from birth to age 18.

They provide everything from well-child checks to immunizations to sports and school physicals. In addition, they treat acute and chronic conditions and will take care of your child when he or she is sick.

When you choose Memorial-affiliated pediatricians you can count on us to work together to keep your child healthy.

Pediatric ER

Kids aren’t just small adults!

With age-specific developmental needs and weight-based treatments, it’s important to have experienced pediatric nurses and physicians who know children – inside and out – and kid-sized equipment. Kid-friendly amenities also help make your child’s experience a little bit less scary at Memorial Belleville and Memorial East. 

We care for pediatric emergencies including:

  • Minor injuries
  • Asthma and respiratory illnesses
  • Belly pain
  • Broken bones
  • Cuts, scrapes and sprains
  • Dehydration
  • Earache
  • Flu
  • Vomiting

In cases where more specialized care is required, the team will quickly arrange for transport to St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

Newborn Care

Washington University neonatologists and pediatricians from St. Louis Children’s Hospital provide coverage for all newborns at the Family Care Birthing Center at Memorial Hospital Shiloh, including those who may require care in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU).

During every high-risk delivery, in addition to the delivery team, there is a pediatrician or neonatologist, and a specially-trained nurse who are there specifically for the babies. 

Should a baby require surgery or an extremely high level of care, he or she will be transferred to St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
