Dr. Fradkin prides himself on practicing evidence based pediatrics. He knows that by using the best designed randomized control trials, and the most up to date pediatric health protocols he does not have to rush off to prescribe a medicine or order a test if it will not change the course of an illness or help his patients.

By practicing evidence based pediatrics Dr. Fradkin is able to provide safe and effective low intervention care. For instance, let’s say little Jenny or Johnny comes into Dr. Fradkin’s office with 1 day of a fever and some ear pain. Dr. Fradkin will look into their ear and see an ear infection. He knows that dependent on the child’s size and age they have as high as an 85% chance of clearing an ear infection on their own without antibiotics. So, Dr. Fradkin will give his best advice for symptomatic care and preparatory guidance for monitoring little Jenny or Johnny at home for signs of worsening infection. But, let’s say Jenny or Johnny come back to the office after a couple of days with worse fever, worse ear pain, trouble sleeping etc…then of course we will then prescribe antibiotics.

In terms of child development Dr. Fradkin takes a biological and evolutionarily driven approach hoping to explain children’s’ loveable quirks and behaviors in terms of their biological causes in order to help bring some perspective to the sometimes bizarre peculiarities that parenting brings.

Overall, Dr. Fradkin wants to make sure your questions in regards to your child’s growth and development are answered and makes sound sense so you can help your child happily and healthily grow into whatever adolescent, teenage, and young adult they want to be!
