Pediatrics

Newborn through adolescent care — well-child visits, immunizations, and same-day sick visits. Walk-ins welcome seven days a week.

It's a fever that won't break by morning. A rash you can't quite place. The cough that's gone on a week longer than it should. The growth-chart milestone that hasn't quite landed yet. When it's a child, "wait and see" doesn't always feel like a plan — what families want is a doctor on the same day, a careful look, and a clear next step.

That's the work of Amadeo's pediatric service. Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week for the sick visits that can't wait. The well-child schedule — newborn, infant, toddler, school-age, adolescent — runs alongside the immunization calendar so nothing falls through. And when something needs a specialist hand, the internal medicine, cardiology, and gynaecology colleagues are in the same building.

The children we see

The newborn group is the smallest but the most frequent — first visits in the first weeks, then the steady cadence of well-baby check-ups for weight, feeding, sleep, vaccinations, and any concerns about the early milestones. The toddler and pre-school group come for the immunization schedule, growth tracking, and the round of ear infections, coughs, fevers, and rashes that fill every parent's first few years.

School-age children come for annual physicals, sports clearances, vision and hearing concerns, and the everyday acute visits that send a family to a doctor on a Tuesday afternoon. Adolescents come for confidential check-ins about acne, periods, mental health, sports performance, and the conversations that need a doctor's room more than a parent's kitchen. Across all of them, we keep the parents looped in on what matters and respect the child's growing privacy on what doesn't.

Why families choose Amadeo for their children

Same-day sick visits. When a fever spikes on a Sunday afternoon or a rash appears overnight, parents shouldn't be choosing between A&E and waiting until Monday. Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week — Sunday included — so the sick visit happens when it needs to.

One chart, one family. Amadeo isn't a children's clinic in isolation — it's a family practice with pediatrics inside it. Mother's prenatal care, the baby's newborn visit, the older child's vaccines, the grandmother's diabetes review can all run from the same building, often the same Saturday. The chart follows the family, not the appointment.

The wider bench is here. When a child needs a cardiology look, a gynaecology consult for an older adolescent, or a surgical opinion, those specialists are a hallway away — not a six-week referral away. Over 30,000 families have come through these doors. You and yours will be in great hands.

Pediatrics FAQ

Can I bring my child in the same day for a fever or rash?

Yes — walk-ins are welcome seven days a week and sick visits are prioritised. If your child is severely unwell (high fever in an infant under 3 months, difficulty breathing, prolonged seizure, dehydration, head injury), go to the nearest hospital emergency department first.

What immunizations do you provide?

The full Jamaican childhood immunization schedule (BCG, hepatitis B, DTaP, polio, MMR, and others) plus catch-up doses for children whose schedule has gaps. We also offer travel-related vaccinations on request — call ahead so we can confirm availability.

What should I bring to a well-child visit?

Your child's immunization card, the growth chart or red book if you have one, a list of any medications or supplements, your insurance details, and a list of questions you want covered — the visit is built around your concerns as much as the routine checks.

Do you see newborns?

Yes. First newborn visits are typically scheduled within 1–2 weeks of birth — earlier if there are feeding concerns, jaundice questions, or weight worries. The visit covers weight, feeding, jaundice check, umbilical care, and any first-weeks concerns the parents bring.

How much does a pediatric visit cost?

Cost depends on whether it's a well-child visit, sick visit, or a procedure (like an immunization or a specimen draw). We work with most major Jamaican health insurance providers. Call (876) 676-5098 for an estimate that fits your situation.
