Pediatric & Adolescent Care in Cumberland, MD

Caring pediatric and teen care for well-child visits, shots, school physicals, sports physicals, and same-day sick visits.

Finding a pediatric doctor in Cumberland, MD your child actually feels comfortable with makes a real difference. Kids pick up on how a visit feels. When the provider is patient, unhurried, and speaks directly to them — not just to the parent — the whole experience changes.

Highland Healthy Living provides pediatric and adolescent care for children of all ages, from infants through the teenage years.

What Pediatric Care Includes

Pediatric care at Highland Healthy Living covers everything your child needs to stay healthy and on track, including:

  • Well-child visits and developmental checks
  • Shots, immunizations, and vaccine schedules
  • Same-day sick visits for fevers, ear infections, sore throats, colds, flu, and more
  • Growth and nutrition monitoring
  • School and sports physicals
  • Behavioral and emotional health screening
  • Asthma and allergy care

These visits are about more than checking height and weight. They're a chance to talk about how your child is doing overall — sleep, appetite, behavior, social development, and anything that's been worrying you.

Well-Child Visits

Well-child visits — what many parents just call regular checkups — follow the schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. These visits track growth, development, and milestones. They're also the time to update shots and screen for vision, hearing, or developmental concerns.

For younger children, these visits happen more often. As your child grows, they shift to once-a-year checkups. Either way, they're one of the most important things you can do to catch problems early.

Sick Visits for Children

Kids get sick. When it happens, you want them seen quickly — not stuck in a crowded waiting room hoping for an opening. Same-day sick visits are available for the everyday illnesses parents deal with all the time:

  • Fevers and chills
  • Colds, coughs, and congestion
  • Flu and flu-like symptoms
  • Sore throats and strep throat
  • Ear infections and ear pain
  • Sinus infections
  • Stomach bugs, vomiting, and diarrhea
  • Pink eye
  • Rashes and skin irritation
  • Allergies and seasonal sniffles

Because your child's provider already knows their history, the visit is faster, more accurate, and less stressful for everyone.

School and Sports Physicals

Need a physical before the school year, summer camp, or sports season? We make it easy to get your child's school physical or sports physical done on time, with the right forms filled out before you leave. Booking a little ahead during back-to-school season helps you avoid the rush.

Adolescent Health

The teenage years come with their own health needs. Hormone changes, mental health, nutrition, sports injuries, acne, sleep problems, and questions about their own bodies all start showing up.

Highland Healthy Living provides a safe, private space for teens to talk about what's going on. Sometimes they need a conversation with their provider without a parent in the room. That's normal, and it's supported here.

Common Childhood Conditions We Treat

Children and teens face their own health challenges. At Highland Healthy Living, we diagnose and treat a range of conditions:

  • Childhood asthma — inhaler training, finding triggers, and action plans for school
  • Teen anxiety and depression — age-appropriate screening, counseling referrals, and family support
  • Childhood weight concerns — nutrition guidance, activity planning, and healthy growth monitoring
  • Ear infections, strep throat, and common illnesses — quick, same-day care
  • ADHD — screening and referrals for trouble focusing
  • Skin conditions — including eczema and acne

When to Bring Your Child In

Call us if your child has a fever that won't come down, an earache, a sore throat that lingers, a rash you're unsure about, trouble breathing or wheezing, or simply isn't acting like themselves. When in doubt, it's always okay to call (240) 880-3220 and ask. For a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
