Student Athletes

Sports physicals are done primarily to make sure you are not at high risk for sudden cardiac death on the playing field. COVID vaccination affects your risk.

In response to worldwide experience and vaccine adverse-event monitoring, we are adopting a more precautionary sports physical sign-off policy:

If you have received at least one dose of any COVID shot, we will not be able to clear you to compete in sports without performing lab work, an electrocardiogram and an echocardiogram to rule out potential heart damage. You will need to get your lab work done before you come in for your visit. You will also need to schedule an appointment with a cardiologist.

Alternative Health/Wellness

Natural health and wellness programs

A variety of approaches to keeping your child healthy and happy.

When it comes to caring for your children’s health, there are many treatment options available to you. There are traditional and non-traditional or alternative treatment options, along with a host of natural and preventive health care options. It’s important to find a pediatric doctor who understands, has experience with and uses all available treatment options instead of just relying on standard traditional medicine as the only solution for everything. Angelina Farella, MD, is that kind of pediatrician doctor.

Dr. Farella offers personalized health and wellness programs designed to help prevent sickness and disease. She offers customized nutrition for kids, exercise and behavioral counseling programs for children suffering from obesity and obesity-related health problems. She offers immunization programs to prevent childhood diseases such as whooping cough, chicken pox, hepatitis, and meningitis.

Most of all, she offers natural therapies that are designed to help your children without drugs or invasive treatments. To learn more about these programs and help give your child the gift of health for a lifetime, call ABT today.

ADD/ADHD

Support and care for challenging children

If your child is having trouble concentrating, he or she may be suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or attention deficit disorder (ADD). Then again, maybe not.

Children who are “always on the go,” fidget excessively, are easily excitable and restless are often labeled as ADHD. Children who have a poor attention span, daydream a lot, stare out into space, lose things and forget to turn in homework are often labeled as ADD. But these labels don’t always apply, nor are they always accurate diagnoses.

Help children with behavior problems with effective treatments and solutions

At ABT, we try to avoid labels. Instead, we look for effective behavior management solutions for different kinds of behavior problems in children. Board-certified pediatrician doctor Angelina Farella, MD, has nearly a decade of experience treating young patients of all ages. She offers special pediatric therapy programs aimed at creating effective solutions. As a last resort, Dr. Farella will consider medication for your child. If so, she offers once-a-day medication that’s easy for kids to take. Once-a-day medication allows your child to take medication in the morning at home and not have to worry about it for the rest of the day.

For parents, Dr. Farella offers open discussions, easy-to-read literature and evening learning opportunities. After an initial consultation, she allows parents time to consider treatment recommendations for behavior modification. She wants parents to understand that it’s not the child’s fault if he or she can’t pay attention or sit still, and it may not be due to ADD or ADHD, either.

When your child needs real solutions for behavioral problems, choose ABT and Dr. Farella. Feel free to ask any questions or share your concerns about behavioral counseling. For personalized one-on-one care for your child’s most challenging problems, call us today.
