Savannah pediatrician Dr. Kelsey Alexander on how concierge pediatric care can help keep your child healthy in 2023

Wednesday, January 18th, 2023

Savannah Pediatrician Dr. Kelsey Alexander on how concierge pediatric care can help keep your child healthy in 2023

Below is a guest post by Savannah pediatrician Dr. Kelsey Alexander @ Coastal Care Partners’ new Concierge Pediatric Clinic 

A new year is upon us!

Though the first few weeks of a new year offer an excellent opportunity for a fresh start, the time is always right to make healthier choices for you and your family. If you’re looking to prioritize your kids’ overall health this year and in the years to come, pediatric concierge care may be the right choice for you. Here are just some of the many benefits you’ll enjoy as a member of Dr. Alexander’s practice. 

  1. Ease of Scheduling Appointments
    With other pediatric practices, parents have to call first thing in the morning in order to even attempt to make a same-day appointment. If they’re lucky enough to be seen that day, they’re often placed with a random provider who has never even met their child. At our practice, we take the stress out of scheduling and work around YOUR schedule, and you are guaranteed to see Sam (our amazing NP) or Dr. Alexander every visit! 
  2. Direct Access to Your Pediatrician
    Do you sometimes feel like you’ve spent half the day simply trying to get in touch with your doctor’s office? With our practice, you can text or call your pediatrician directly to ask questions and avoid unnecessary visits — saving you time and money! In typical practices, parents are told they must schedule an appointment for any concerns. With concierge pediatric care, you can send a photo or video of your child directly to Dr. Alexander through a HIPAA-compliant messaging system, and you’ll often be able to start treatment at home. 
  3. After-Hours Access to Dr. Alexander
    Sometimes you don’t notice that your child isn’t feeling well until you get home from work and the doctor’s office has already closed. No need to worry! You can text Dr. Alexander through the Spruce messaging app and hear back right away, helping to give you peace of mind. If you need to schedule a sick visit for the next day, you can do so online, day or night. By having after hours access, we can often keep you out of urgent cares or emergency rooms so that your child’s care is consistently with your PCP, improving quality of care and saving you money.
  4. Increased Quality of Care
    Do you often feel rushed when you visit your child’s pediatrician, or that you spend the majority of your visit in the waiting room? At our practice, we don’t overbook our schedules. This allows patients to be seen as soon as they walk in for their appointment, removing any need for a waiting room at all! Even more importantly, this allows our team to spend ample time (usually 30 minutes to an hour) with each and every one of our patients, ensuring our patients and their parents leave our practice with all of their questions answered and concerns addressed. 

These are just a few of the many benefits of joining Dr. Alexander’s concierge pediatric care practice! Not only will these services help save you valuable time and money, but they will also offer peace of mind that your child’s health is always in the best hands. If you’re interested in learning more about whether concierge pediatric care is right for your child, schedule a free consultation with Dr. Alexander to learn more about her practice and how it can benefit you.

Savannah pediatrician Dr. Kelsey Alexander shares tips how to teach children the joy of giving

Monday, November 28th, 2022

Savannah Pediatrician Dr. Kelsey Alexander on Teaching Children the Joy of Giving

Below is a guest post by Savannah pediatrician Dr. Kelsey Alexander @ Coastal Care Partners’ new Concierge Pediatric Clinic 

The season of giving is here! This special time of the year is the perfect time to introduce and encourage a spirit of giving among children. While younger children may have a more difficult time grasping the concept of how and why we should give to others, there are ways to break it down into small, teachable moments that even the smallest of children can understand and enjoy. 

Giving to Family

Showing children how to give to their families is a great way to begin teaching them about giving. Kids are often more willing and excited to participate in helping or gifting to people they know and love. They can do this by making crafts, including drawings and even ornaments. They could also be tasked with finding a gift that their sibling(s) would enjoy, or parents can make children “elves who help” by coming up with tasks they can accomplish each day at home, like a chore or a small, random act of kindness. 

Giving to Others

There are so many other ways kids can learn to give to others. Angel Trees, where kids can pick an “angel” and purchase specialized gifts for someone, are a great way for kids to give! As a parent, you can also teach and encourage kids to recognize service workers with small gifts of appreciation. For a free alternative, have your child donate some toys they don’t use or have multiple of. You can approach this by saying, “This toy was very special to you at one point, and because it meant so much to you, it would be a good idea to donate it to a child who will play with it and care for it just as much.”

Giving Their Time

Time is one of the most important and valuable gifts that one can give and receive. During this time of year, you can take your children to visit and even sing Christmas carols with the elderly in senior living facilities. Parents can also encourage their children to volunteer with wonderful organizations like P.A.C.K., Urban Hope, The Salvation Army, and the several shelters and soup kitchens in the area. 

Teaching the importance of giving to others—and allowing your children to see generosity in practice—is a life-changing experience for both children and their parents! Introducing different methods of giving, like the ones mentioned above, can help your kids find the ways that resonate best with them. Then, as you find joy in giving to others as a family, this joyful and gracious spirit will surely stick with your children for years to come. Happy Holidays!

Is Your Child Afraid of the Doctor’s Office? SouthCoast Health Tips on How You Can Help

Wednesday, April 27th, 2022

SouthCoast Health: What to do if your child fears pediatrician visits

Half of parents say their preschoolers are afraid of doctors’ visits, and one-fifth of parents say they struggle to speak with providers because their children get so upset.

SouthCoast Health medical experts offer tips here on how to help including: explain what to expect: validate your child’s feelings; use make-believe play: and lead by example.

“Do what you can to manage your own stress before and during the appointment. “One way to get relief,” advises Alisha Bennett, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at SouthCoast Health, “is to designate a specific time for asking questions.”

If there are any important matters you’d like to discuss with the doctor, consider bringing another parent or support person along, so you can speak alone with the doctor in private before or after your child is seen.

Learn more here.

SouthCoast Health pediatricians treat children of all ages, from newborns to age 21. Evening and weekend hours available, as well as urgent care walk-in visits. Schedule an appointment by calling 912-691-3600 or online

(Savannah Pediatric Dentists) Kid’s Dentistree in Richmond Hill on tips for good oral health for kids

Thursday, September 30th, 2021

Savannah dentists pediatric dental children's Kidstree RIchmond Hill Pooler

Kid’s Dentistree, Richmond Hill

Below is a guest post by Kid’s Dentistree – a pediatric dentist in Richmond Hill.

In honor of National Dental Hygiene Month, Kid’s Dentistree is celebrating all the hardworking dental hygienists and sharing tips for maintaining good oral health. 

National Dental Hygiene Month is observed every October in the United States. Dental hygiene refers to the ways in which we keep our mouth, teeth and gums clean and healthy. Colgate.com explains that the goal of this awareness month is to celebrate the work dental hygienists do and spread the word about the importance of good oral health.

What do dental hygienists do?

When most people think of dental hygienists, they think of a teeth cleaning. However, the American Dental Association (ADA) highlights the many additional responsibilities hygienists hold. These include examining your mouth, taking your blood pressure and pulse, and assessing your overall health and wellness. Hygienists also take dental x-rays to check for any problems in places that aren’t easily visible, such as in between or underneath your teeth. They also educate patients about good nutrition and ways to keep a healthy mouth. The cleaning itself involves removing plaque and tartar from around your gum line, followed by thoroughly brushing and flossing your teeth.

How do I maintain good oral health?

MouthHealthy.org, an ADA website, emphasizes the importance of maintaining your oral health at all stages of life. Understanding proper brushing and flossing techniques and eating a well-balanced diet can go a long way toward preventing cavities. It’s also essential to see your hygienist on a regular basis to help remove tartar build-up and detect any potential problems before they worsen. This can even help you save money by avoiding costly dental treatments down the road.

Take advantage of your dental benefits!

Most dental insurances cover two annual cleanings and exams at little or no cost. If you have dental insurance and haven’t had your second visit for the year, now’s the time to take advantage of your benefits and schedule your appointment. If you do not have insurance, don’t worry. Give Kid’s Dentistree a call and ask about the discount options available to you.

Visit Kid’s Dentistree’s website or call (912) 756-5437 to schedule your child’s visit today.

The Kid’s Dentistree office is located in the “Clock Tower” building, right next to The Suites at Station Exchange on Ford Avenue in Richmond Hill.

Savannah pediatricians: Helping Your Child with Mental Illness

For the 17.1 million children in the United States estimated to have a mental illness, back-to-school season can be a time full of anxiety and worries.

“Mental illness still has a lot of stigma surrounding it, especially when it comes to children,” SouthCoast Health Pediatrician Dr. Nelson Elam stated. “And yet, that number of children with a mental illness is more than the number of children with cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. It’s time we stop being hesitant to talk about mental illnesses that are potentially harming our children.”

If the school season is full of worries with how your child will balance their mental illness, you are not alone.

SouthCoast pediatricians are offer these mental health tips to help both you and your family manage this school season and beyond, help give your children a positive and fulfilling life.

School Car Rider Line Pick Up & Drop Off Chaos @ some Savannah-Chatham public schools

Wednesday, August 18th, 2021

School Car Rider Line problems Savannah Chatham Public Schools

Traffic problems at some Savannah-Chatham County public schools during drop off and pick up times this school year would be funny if the problems weren’t life threatening.

Savannah-Chatham Public School System is working to improve transportation options for eligible students after a shortage of bus drivers impacted the district’s ability to provide transportation for the current school year 2021-22.

Meanwhile, the shortage of bus drivers continues to create traffic chaos for parents and guardians trying to get their children to and from school. Fewer buses equals more vehicles. Anyone who has been in a school car rider line this school year knows the chaos we’re talking about: lines so long they spill out into surrounding roads, blocking traffic lanes; angry motorists cutting lines and creating new lanes; parents having to get in line more than an hour before pick up in order to avoid long lines etc.

If you’re a parent/guardian who is experiencing these problems, please email us your story, your proposed solutions or even your car rider line photos at anne@southernmamas.com. We’re looking to address this problem on our site and social media in hopes that some attention will help prompt solutions before someone gets hurt.

Savannah-Chatham public schools transportation call center

The district has announced the expansion of their transportation call center. If you have a question about new bus routes or your child’s eligibility, you can call 912-395-5591.
