Choosing Us as Your Pediatrician


Parents worldwide know that choosing the right pediatrician for your child and your family makes life a little less stressful and helps support more confident parenting when faced with illness and child-rearing. Parents in Holly Springs, NC, turn to local pediatrician Dr. Maria Castro or pediatrician Dr. Yenny Cruz and their Starlight Pediatrics team for their child’s overall health and wellness.

What Is a Pediatrician and Why Do You Need One?

A pediatrician is a doctor that specializes in children, including their emotional, physical, and social development. Often, illnesses in children and infants have different symptoms than those in adults. Caring for children, especially those too young to communicate, can be tricky, and the pediatricians at our practice make sure to listen carefully. At the same time, pediatricians can care for babies, young children, and adolescents up until 21 years of age.

Pediatricians manage and treat both the acute and chronic care of children. There are specific evaluations that need to occur at regular intervals, and an immunization schedule needs to be followed. This is particularly important in the first two years of a child’s life.

Regular visits to the pediatrician, as agreed between the caregivers and the doctor, allow pediatricians to have a considerable role in preventing or diagnosing

  • Developmental or learning delays
  • Behavioral problems
  • Mental health concerns
  • Acute and chronic illnesses
