At Healthy Beginnings Pediatrics, we believe in addressing the root causes of health challenges rather than just treating symptoms.
Dr. Hathaway combines functional medicine with compassionate primary care to provide your child with personalized, comprehensive healthcare that supports their long-term wellbeing and gives them the foundation for a vibrant, healthy life.
A complimentary service to see what your goals are and if our services align with your needs.
Dr. Hathaway tailors each program based on your child's history, specialty lab results, and your health goals. Programs vary in duration, generally from 3-9 months, and aim to change the trajectory of your child's health.
For maintaining optimal health after completion of a wellness program; yearly lab reassessment; lifestyle and supplement recommendations; community groups for support.
Monitor growth, development, mental and social health, sleep, nutrition, toileting, safety, routines, etc.
For addressing illnesses and injuries.
Tongue tie clipping (frenectomy), and other minor procedures
Each child is different. Functional medicine asks, “Why is this disease state present for this specific child? What factors contribute, and how can we optimize their health, improve their quality of life, and resilience?”
At Healthy Beginnings, we thoroughly assess your child’s history and utilize specialty labs to evaluate their biology, genetics, nutrition, gut health, and toxic burden.
Most medical practices merely focus on medicating your child’s symptoms. Foundational health aspects may get overlooked as the visit is rushed, focusing on “checking all the boxes” for the insurance companies.
At Healthy Beginnings, we provide “direct primary care,” a membership model in which you are the only person we serve—not insurance providers or shareholders. You are on a journey to provide a healthy life for your family, and Dr. Hathaway is here to guide you. You will receive respectful, intentional care focused on maintaining and restoring health.
Are you unsure if our practice is the right fit for your family? We offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your child’s needs and answer any questions you might have about our approach to pediatric care.
