frequent respiratory infections;
suspected viral, bacterial, or parasitic infection;
unexplained rash;
prolonged cough, diarrhea, or fatigue;
a second medical opinion is needed regarding treatment;
the child has a weakened immune system.

if necessary, orders additional tests or analyses;
explains the diagnosis and creates a treatment plan;
