What does a Pediatrician do? Pediatricians take care of children’s health. This might involve treating an ear infection, talking to parents about school or behavioral problems, or seeing them for well-child checkups and giving them their shots. Basically, pediatricians focus on the physical, emotional, and social health of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults from birth to 21 years. Developmentally oriented and trained in skilled assessment, their patient-care lens is focused on prevention, detection, and management of physical, behavioral, developmental, and social problems that affect children. Pediatricians diagnose and treat infections, injuries, and many types of organic disease and dysfunction. They work to reduce infant and child mortality, foster healthy lifestyles, and ease the day-to-day difficulties of those with chronic conditions. With structured evaluation and early intervention, pediatricians identify and address developmental and behavioral problems that result from exposure to psychosocial stressors. Dr. Raymond Leonard, MD - Pediatrician
Dr. Leonard is proud of his West Virginia roots. He was born and raised in Webster Springs and graduated from Webster County High School in 1995, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. Dr. Leonard’s wife, Kenna, is a Hacker Valley native and a 1996 graduate of Webster County High School. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing at West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon, and she has worked as a pediatric ICU nurse.
“It means a lot to Kenna and me to remain in West Virginia and use our knowledge in the healthcare field to meet the needs of youngsters from crib-age to young adults. West Virginians are the kindest, most generous people to be found anywhere and they deserve to have the best of healthcare. And we can’t think of any better place to enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors than here in the North Central part of the state.” Dr. Leonard earned his Bachelor and Master’s degrees in exercise physiology at West Virginia University before entering the WVU School of Medicine. Following graduation from medical school in 2005, he completed his residency in pediatrics at Akron Children’s Hospital in Akron, Ohio. |
