Diabetes
| Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles.

Child Health
| A long-term primary focus of pediatricians is to eliminate disease and promote health. In order to best fulfill these objectives, it is necessary for a child's health care provider to build a trusting relationship with the child and the family. This can be best accomplished through scheduled visits at set intervals when the child is not ill. Well child exams also provide a framework where the health care provider, in partnership with the family and community, can promote the optimal health and well being of children - infants through young adulthood - and prevent illness and disability.

Hearing Problems
| There are many different types of ear problems. For example, ear pain may be caused by infections of the tonsils, jaw or sinuses. Chronic infection, for example, glue ear, can cause hearing loss that can affect learning and lifestyle, and exposure to loud noise can also damage hearing. As well as infection, the ears can also suffer from dermatitis reactions to topical medicines, wearing jewelry, cosmetics or methacrylate ear plugs.
