Pediatric care begins at birth.

    Apollo Hospitals' pediatricians provide care for children from birth through age 18. Well-child visits are typically more frequent during the first two years of life, then annually from ages 2 to 5. Annual check-ups are recommended until age 18. Pediatric care encompasses comprehensive services for children of all ages within this range.

    Can a Pediatrician Perform Surgery?

    Pediatricians focus on children's health. While some pediatricians, with specialized surgical training, may perform procedures, pediatric surgeons are specialists in surgical care for children. Pediatricians primarily use non-surgical methods for diagnosis and treatment. Pediatric surgical procedures range from minor (e.g., foreign body removal) to complex (e.g., cardiac surgery).
