When a parent takes their child to an Arkansas Children’s Primary Care clinic, they receive comprehensive care. Medical experts are there for the everyday health needs of your children, whether it’s treating a fever, giving an immunization or referring to one of the specialty care physicians at Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) in Little Rock for more complex needs.
“We see children of all ages, from 0 to 21, and take care of them and their illnesses, as well as talk to them about preventative guidance to prevent injury and illness,” says Laura Sisterhen, M.D., medical director of the General Pediatric Clinic at ACH and a professor in the department of pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. She has worked at ACH for 20 years. “I love seeing children smile, enjoying life and seeing them thrive.”
