Pediatric Health Links 

There are a lot of medical advice sites on the Internet.  Some can be trusted to give you reliable, research-based information, while other "expert" sites offer information that is unreliable, out of date or just plain wrong.  Please ask us our opinion before taking any medical advice from Internet "experts"!  The sites listed below are medical sites we trust and use frequently.  These sites can be counted on to give you trustworthy pediatric medical information.

• Center for Disease Control & Prevention - Reliable, up-to-the-minute information on infectious diseases, international travel health and hot medical topics.
