While Dr. West is indeed a pediatrician, she will not be considered your child's primary pediatrician in that she does not primary care services like well child check ups and vaccinations or provide acute visits for illnesses. Nevertheless, she will collaborate closely with your child's main healthcare provider, as well as any counselor or therapist involved in your child’s care in order to achieve optimal outcomes.

If your child is in need of emergent or urgent medical attention, you should contact their primary care provider or seek emergency services by calling 911 or visiting the nearest hospital or emergency department.
