Pediatric Care

Choosing a doctor who understands your family’s values and takes the time to truly listen is one of the most important decisions you can make for your child’s health. At Integrative Medical Specialists, we take time to listen carefully, answer your questions, and understand the unique needs of both your child and your family. Our goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care while building lasting relationships that support your child’s health from infancy through young adulthood.

Grounded in the principles of Naturopathic Medicine, our Licensed Naturopathic Doctors incorporate Functional Medicine and Integrative Medicine to support healthy growth and development while helping identify factors that may be contributing to your child’s health concerns. We emphasize prevention, Nutrition, healthy lifestyle habits, patient education, and personalized treatment recommendations designed to support each child’s growth, development, and individual health needs.

Our doctors care for children from infancy through young adulthood, providing routine Well-Child Visits as well as evaluation and support for both acute and chronic health concerns. Whether your child is experiencing recurring ear infections, digestive concerns, food allergies, food intolerances, skin conditions, or more complex health issues, we work closely with families to develop individualized care plans that address immediate health concerns while supporting long-term health and wellness. Our goal is to support your child’s health by partnering with your family and, when appropriate, collaborating with other healthcare providers to help ensure coordinated, comprehensive care.

Supporting healthy growth and development through puberty is another important area of focus. Many children—particularly young girls—are entering puberty earlier than in previous generations, leaving parents with understandable questions and concerns. We help families better understand these changes while evaluating Nutrition, Hormone Balance, lifestyle, and other factors that may influence healthy development.

Preconception Wellness is another important area of focus. We work with individuals and couples who are preparing for pregnancy by helping optimize Nutrition, lifestyle, and overall health before conception. Once a child is born, our doctors look forward to partnering with families as they grow, supporting children through every stage of development.

Dr. Emily Guse, ND, has a special interest in Pediatric & Family Care and is dedicated to partnering with families to support children through every stage of growth and development. Working collaboratively with Dr. Diane Diehn, ND, she provides compassionate, individualized care while drawing on the principles of Naturopathic Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Integrative Medicine to help children thrive.

At Integrative Medical Specialists, our goal is to create a welcoming environment where families feel heard, respected, and supported. We are honored to partner with parents in helping children build a strong foundation for lifelong health and wellness.
